BEAUMONT, Texas (May 2, 2014) - Tommy Bryant found victory lane with the Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region on Friday night, taking the winner's check at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park, but it was almost for not.
Rolling to post-race tech, officials found the front nose wing to be too far forward, but having tangled with a slower car during the race, the wing had been moved, and according to series director, Keith Johnson, was deemed legal based on the fact that the wing was moved due to a crash, not an error by a crew member.
Travis Rilat earned second with Klint Angelette third. Channin Tankersley advanced nine spots to grab fourth with Chris Sweeney making up the top five. The remainder of the top-ten includes Ray Allen Kulhanek, Wes Miller, John Pate, Mike Walling and Brandie Jass.
The Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region compete next at the Battleground Speedway on Saturday, May 3. For updates, log onto http://www.ascsracing.com.
