Bryan Hulbert – WACO, Texas (July 7, 2023) Five races in with just as many winners, the MYCO Plastics ASCS Elite Outlaw Sprints invaded the Heart O’ Texas Speedway on Friday night with Marcus Thomas parking in Victory Lane for the first time in ASCS competition.
Back and forth with John Carney II for the point, the opening four laps were led by the No. 10g before Carney took over. Wheeling the Coyote Candle Co. No. 74b around the bottom of the quarter-mile-oval at first, John jumped topside to take the point from Marcus.
Keeping Carney in sight, a lane change in traffic allowed Thomas to begin trading slide jobs for the top spot. Back and forth for several laps, Thomas was finally able to pick Carney with a lapped car to retake the lead on Lap 17.
Stalked next by Cody Garder, who made it by the No. 74b as well, Cody slipped through the top of the first and second turns on the final lap, allowing Thomas to run away to the win with Carney able to retake second. Cody recovered to finish third, with Paul White and Jason Howell making up the top five.
From the quarter-mile to the half-mile, the next outing is Saturday, July 8, at the Devi’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas. Gates opens at 6:00 P.M., with racing at 8:00 P.M. (CDT).
