Bryan Hulbert - BOYD, Texas (April 26, 2013) With his TBJ Promotions backed Rock ‘N Roll 50 delayed a week due to rain, a trip to Boyd, Texas with the Smiley’s Racing Products Lone Star Region proved to be the perfect therapy as Tony Bruce, Jr. captured his first ASCS victory of the 2013 season.
Besting a showing of 25 drivers, Bruce led the distance in the night’s 25 lap feature event.
Putting nearly half the field a lap behind, the Lubbock Wrecker Service No. 18 was trailed across the stripe by Johnny Herrera with Channin Tankersley completing the night’s podium, coming from fifteenth.
Defending regional champion Matt Covington crossed fourth with Tim Crawley rounding out the top five in a Baughman Motorsports backed No. 17. Claud Estes, Kolt Walker, Patrick Stasa, John Carney II, and Justin Melton completed the top ten.
