McCutcheon Is Maiden Southwest Winner

VADO, N.M. — The first of two nights in the books at Vado Speedway Park with the ASCS Southwest Region, it was Kyle McCutcheon who broke into victory lane for the first time with the regional tour.

Becoming the 55th different driver to top the ASCS Southwest Region, McCutcheon did so from the ninth starting spot with a high side hustle to the front of the field that was met by

Lorne Wofford who traded blows with McCutcheon through most of the race before ending up second at the drop of the checkered flag.

Rick Ziehl moved up three spots to finish third with Royal Jones and Colton Hardy making up the top five.
