Davey Brown is Best in ASCS SOD Go at Crystal!

By T.J. Buffenbarger

CRYSTAL, Mich. (September 3, 2011) – Davey Brown outlasted two rain delays and a late race challenge to win the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP feature event Saturday night at Crystal Motor Speedway. Brown started on the front row and led every circuit of the caution-free affair driving the Rapid Tool and Engineering sponsored car.

“Tracy Rice, Corey Chapman, and my Dad got the right setup,” said Brown in the pit area after the feature. “We’ve had a good car all year, finally came together tonight. Its great racing for Tracy because the car is near where I live and my family is involved with it.”

After waiting out two rain delays, Crystal Motor Speedway promoter Ron Flinn and the ASCS SOD crew were willing to wait out the weather and were rewarded with an excellent racing surface. Brown and Andy Teunessen started on the front row of the 25-lap race with Brown jumping out front with Teunessen in tow.

Brown opened up a sizeable lead early on before encountering lapped traffic. Brown was able to negotiate the slower cars though and continued to stretch his advantage. With five laps to go Teunessen’s car started to come in and he quickly closed the gap. Time quickly ran out on the blazing fast race track as Brown hung onto the victory over Teunessen, who scored his best career ASCS SOD feature finish with the runner up position. Gregg Dalman, Ryan Grubaugh, and Dustin Daggett rounded out the top five.

Steve Irwin, Teunessen, and Brown won heat race events. Dustin Daggett won the B-Main. Due to inclement weather officials decided to forego the Gaerte Engines Fast Car dash.
