Ashley Newman Doubles Up in Weekend Win Tallyby Ben Shelton
RIPLEY, Tennessee (March 24) – It was back to business for Ashley Newman and the Upton Motorsports team over the weekend as they entered a doubleheader at Tennessee National Raceway (Hohenwald, Tennessee), where the Ripley, Tennessee driver came away with a pair of wins in his Bob Pierce #73 Greg’s Sawmill Crate Late Model.
Friday night's program boasted a $650 top prize to Crate Late Model competitors, and Newman started his outing by posting the fastest lap in qualifications to lock into the pole position for the feature. Ashley led flag-to-flag in the main event for his first victory of the season.
Saturday night's event also paid $650 to the winner, as Newman would pick up right where he left off the night before. Ashley once again earned the pole position for the final via time trials, and went to lead every lap, completing the weekend sweep.
“It was a fantastic weekend for the team,” commented Newman. “Maybe if Mother Nature will cut us some slack we can start racing more, and knock down some more wins.”

This Saturday, March 28th will take the team to Duck River Raceway Park (Wheel, Tennessee) for the inaugural event for the newly-formed, United Crate Racing Association (UCRA). The program will be headlined by a $2,500-to-win finale. For more information, please visit
