Dale Howard Tops ASCS Mid-South Foes

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. – Making his return to victory lane with the Stealth Recovery ASCS Mid-South Region for the first time since 2006, Mississippi’s Dale Howard wheeled his No. 47 machine to the front of the field Saturday night at Riverside Int’l Speedway.

Taking the green from the right of the front row, the Mach1 Chassis No. 47 took over the point on lap 14, when race leader Zach Pringle bicycled his No. 8z hard. The miscue forced Pringle to retire to the pits.

From there, Howard led the remainder of the A-Feature, with Ernie Ainsworth finishing second and Brad Bowden making up a couple of positions for third.

In action in the No. 94, Jeff Swindell crossed fourth and Marshall Skinner completed the top five.

Tim Crawley came up from 11th to sixth, with Friday’s winner Derek Hagar in seventh. Joseph Miller was eighth and Joe B. Miller moved from 13th to ninth.

Making a run from 18th, Brandon Hanks competed the top 10.
