Collierville, TN (03/02/10) – Ashley Newman continued his torrid start to the 2010 season over the weekend by maneuvering his #73 Tucker Motorsports/Parts Plus/Valvoline/Larry Shaw Race Car/Dynotech Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified to a third place finish in the 13th Annual Bama Bash.
The team made the last minute decision to travel to Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Alabama over the weekend for the 13th Annual Bama Bash. In heat race action on Friday night, Ashley started in the 3rd position and charged to a second place finish. Via his heat race finish, he earned the outside front row starting spot alongside Ken Schrader for Sunday evening's main event. In the feature he would have his left front tire cut down on the first lap of the race as he and Schrader battled for the lead. Despite the left front flat, Newman would continue racing and would miraculously manage to record a third place finish in the $1,500 to win event behind event winner, Ken Schrader, and Chris Moore.
The third place finish gave the team their third straight top three finish of the 2010 season.
This Saturday, March 6th, Ashley and Tucker Motorsports will enter their fourth event of the season as they travel to Columbus Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi for the facilities’ 2010 season opener. Back in mid-January, Newman opened his season with a win in the 10th Annual Winter Classic at Columbus Speedway, and will look to continue his momentum this Saturday.
