GREENWOOD, La. — The long-awaited return of the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating to Boothill Speedway did not disappoint as seventh-starting Cody Gardner parked the Brewer Trucking No. G6 in victory lane.
Getting to the lead on lap six, Gardner battled with Paul White with the Waco racer leading lap seven, before Gardner regained the top spot. He held the lead until lap 15 when fifth-starting Michelle Parson moved to the lead.
Gardner railed the cushion, while Parson worked patiently around the hub. To the white flag, the pair were tied at the line. Staying committed to the top of Boothill Speedway, the pair shot the front stretch in a full-on drag race to the finish with Gardner winning by .150 seconds for his second non-winged score of the season.
Parson finished second, followed by Jason Howell, White and Jeremy Jonas.Â
