ASCS - American Sprint Car SeriesBryan Hulbert – Dodge City, Kansas (September 1, 2012) On a breezy night in Kansas the Wicked City Shootout kicked off with Bartlett, Tennessee’s Jeff Swindell grabbing the $3,000 Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV feature event.

Rolling off fourth in the Randy Washburn owned Team Zero Sprint Car, Swindell wasted little time getting to second behind Joe Wood Jr. Taking off from the outside of the front row, the O.E.M. No. 11 looked to be in control before contact with an infield tractor tire sent the Oklahoma City native pit side as the field worked on completing lap nine.

Inheriting the lead, the Pride Ag Resources No. 0 was quickly challenged by eighth starting Brian Brown. Diving to the bottom of the track entering turn one on the restart, Brown gave Swindell no choice but to back out of the throttle but the top spot would only be for the back straight-a-way as Swindell rocketed back into the lead exiting turn three.

Expanding to a comfortable advantage, Swindell left the battle for the runner up spot between Brian Brown and Logan Forler. Coming up from sixth, Forler swapped lines several times with the Casey’s General Store No. 21 throughout slower traffic before the Lucas Oil No. 5h secured second on the seventeenth circuit.

Slower for a caution with five laps remaining, a pair of lapped cars sat between Swindell and Forler as the green flew. Getting a huge run on the restart, Swindell opened up the advantage in a hurry as Brian Brown and Logan Forler continued their fight with Wayne Johnson and Jason Johnson battling it out for the final transfer spot into Sunday’s A-Feature.

Crossing under the white flag with better than three seconds between himself and Logan Forler, it was smooth sailing for Jeff Swindell to claim his third career Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV feature win. Logan Forler was second with Brian Brown and Wayne Johnson holding onto the final transfer spot. Jason Johnson was would claim fifth after starting fifteenth.

Brady Bacon was the PitstopUSA.com Hard Charger with a driver from nineteenth to sixth with Johnny Herrera seventh. Dustin Morgan would cross the line eighth with Kaley Gharst and Kyle McCutcheon making up the top ten after starting eighteenth.

The Wicked City Shootout concludes Sunday September 2, 2012 with races scheduled to begin at 7:30pm CT.
