ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — Adding his name to the list of winners with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region, Nick Haygood captured the win Friday night at Sweetwater Speedway.
The first of a two-night affair at the Wyoming oval, the win is Haygood’s eighth in ASCS Regional competition. Having seven wins with the former ASCS Rocky Mountain Region, the last time Haygood topped an ASCS event was in 2007 at Colorado National Speedway in Erie, Colo.
Giving chase the first 13 laps to Alex Pettas, the USA Performance Racing Engines No. 1 took over the point the following lap. Working through a single caution over the 25-lap event, the final lap saw Tanner Holmes take a shot at the lead off the last turn but would come up 0.400 seconds shy at the line.
Garen Linder crossed third with Trevor Kirkland in tow. Moving from 13th, Jeremy McCune made up the top five.
