New Weston, Ohio (May 27, 2012) – Randy Hannagan won his second
feature during Memorial Day weekend Sunday at Eldora Speedway during a
co-sanctioned event with the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented
by ARP and the National Racing Alliance Sprint Invaders. Hannagan
held off multiple challenges from Shane Stewart on his way to victory.

“This Dennis Yoakam, Fisher powered Maxim Chassis was really running,”
said Hannagan. “The car was flawless; anyone could have driven this
thing. Everybody on this team is unbelievable.”

After calling off the first start Hannagan drove into the lead.
Behind him Jim Nier, Butch Schroeder, and Shane Stewart battled for
the second spot. Stewart used a slide job to clear both Schroder and
Nier to move into second in turns three and four. By lap six Hannagan
approached slower traffic with Stewart quickly closing the gap.

While going through traffic Stewart tapped the wall in turn two and
allowed Hannagan to open up some ground. Stewart closed the ground on
lap eight and attempted a side job on Hannagan, but Hannagan held onto
the lead. Stewart lost a lot of momentum with the passing attempt and
allowed Hannagan to open up a lead he would never relinquish, driving
around slower cars to the checkered flag. Stewart held onto second
while Nier, Schroder, and Long rounded out the top five.

Stewart was the fastest driver during group qualifications and won his
heat race event. Schroeder, Luke Hall, and Neir also won heat race
events. Jared Horstman and Ryan Ruhl won the twin “B” Features.
The next event for the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by
ARP series is Friday June 8th at Hartford Motor Speedway in Hartford,
Michigan followed by a special Saturday engagement at Cherry Speedway
in Fife, Lake, Michigan.
