Ashley Newman Wins Wild One at Lexington 104 Speedway

by Ben Shelton
RIPLEY, Tennessee (May 13) – Ashley Newman powered the Upton Motorsports #73 Greg’s Sawmill Bob Pierce Crate Late Model to his sixth win of 2015 on Saturday night with a triumph in a wild feature at Lexington 104 Speedway (Lexington, Tennessee).

After starting 4th on the feature grid Newman was running in the 3rd spot as the race approached its midway point. Bad luck would strike the leader as he was forced to cut through the infield to dodge a lap car. Newman and the 2nd place runner went three-wide with the leader entering turn three with Ashley taking the advantage exiting turn four. From that point Newman cruised to the victory.

“That was a crazy race tonight, and some bad luck for the leader there,” said Newman. “I’ve been on the other end of that situation before though, so it’s nice to come out on the other end.”

This weekend, May 15th-16th, Upton Motorsports is tentatively scheduled to enter a pair of Crate Late Model events at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway (Calvert City, Kentucky). The event is being tabbed the Bluegrass Nationals. On Friday evening a $1,000 top prize is up for grabs, and on Saturday evening the winner’s share will be increased to $3,000.
