Collierville, TN (11/16/10) – Ashley Newman and Tucker Motorsports ended an era over the weekend as they entered their final event together in the USCS Fall Nationals at Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas) in the team’s #73 Tucker Motorsports/Parts Plus/Valvoline/Larry Shaw Race Car/Dynotech Racing Engine Open Wheel.
Tucker Motorsports and Ashley Newman hoped to end their season and partnership together on a high note as they entered the USCS Fall Nationals over the weekend. However, it would turn out to be a nightmare outing. On Friday night, the night started well as Ashley qualified second fastest in his group to lock into the eighth starting spot for the feature event. In the feature, he had a solid run going, when bad luck struck as first a flat tire sent him pitside, and then a broken yoke on the driveshaft ended his night.
On Sunday evening the team made repairs, and returned to Riverside International Speedway for the final night of the event as another $1,000 to win feature was held. Newman fell short of qualifying for the feature via time trials, but finished second in the b-main to lock into the 12th starting spot for the feature. Early in the event he worked his way into the top ten and looked to be on his way to a great finish, when bad luck struck on a mid-race restart. As the field prepared to resume green flag action, the leader's car failed to fire causing a chain reaction wreck back in the pack, bringing Newman’s night to an end.
Tucker Motorsports and Ashley Newman would like to thank everyone, who has supported them during the course of the 2010 season. Despite a disappointing end to things, it's been a great year, and it would not have been possible without all of the great sponsors and fans. Thanks so much from the entire team.
