ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — The 41st driver to add their name to the list of winners with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region, Colby Thornhill captured his first victory in ASCS competition Friday night at Sweetwater Speedway.
Topping the field of 21, Thornhill chased the opening six laps. Two tries on the start, Thornhill was quick into second once the race went to green.
Pursuing Trever Kirkland, Colby explored the top of the Rock Springs oval, with the pass coming on lap six off the fourth turn.
Quickly by the No. 37 for second, Logan Forler began chasing the PGH Excavating No. 19. Closing to Colby’s back bumper at the race’s mid-point, the Washington shoe was able to slip by a pair of slower cars to keep Logan at bay.
Able to hold off following a late-race stoppage, Thornhill was chased to the line by Forler, with Trever Kirkland ending up third.
Nick Haygood was fourth, with Tyler Driever ending up as the final car on the lead lap in fifth.
