Four rounds into the 2024 season, with just as many trips to Victory Lane, Oregon’s Tyler Thompson stood atop the podium Friday night at Gallatin Speedway with the ASCS Frontier Region.
Getting to the track just in time following a rain delay at the Montana oval, the battle was on as Thompson chased Canada’s Kelly Miller through the first 17 laps. Racing less than a tenth of a second apart leading up the pass for two laps, Thompson cleared on the 18th revolution with a high-side pass off the fourth turn and proceeded to run away for his fifth career ASCS Frontier Region win.
Kelly Miller crossed second, with Rich Bailey third. Phil Dietz and Bryan Brown completed the top five.
The ASCS Frontier Region races again on Saturday, July 13, at Electric City Speedway.
Located at 2801 Old Harve Hwy. north of Great Falls, Mont., Electric City Speedway opens at 5:30 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 p.m. and racing at 7:00 p.m. (MDT) on Saturday, July 13. Other divisions on the card include WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds and Super Stocks. Tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for seniors, military, and youth (13-17). Kids five and under get in for $5 when accompanied by a paying adult.
The 2024 season marks the 33rd season of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the American Sprint Car Series National Tour, the ASCS Nation includes Regional Tours encompassing Wing and Non-Wing competition.
