Inside Line Promotions – WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (April 6, 2021) – Tucker Boulton is pleased with his first official 360ci winged sprint car outing.
Boulton stepped up from the 305ci sprint car ranks and entered an event last Saturday at Riverside International Speedway with only a handful of practice laps in the new division. Saturday proved to be a confidence booster.
“It went well,” he said. “The car felt really good and the motor is strong. I’m happy we went straight to the feature through the heat race.”
A high pill draw didn’t deter Boulton at the start of the night. He advanced from eighth to fifth place in a heat race, which earned him the 11th-most points. That locked Boulton into the 11th starting position in the A Main.
“It was a good experience to be at our home track to shake down this car,” he said. “The track conditions were tough. I was up to eighth at one point. The car went away and we lost some positions, but it ended up coming back at the end.”
Boulton battled for a top 10 throughout the feature before ending 11th.
He plans on returning to action this Saturday at either Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La., with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour and ASCS Mid-South Region or at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark.
“I feel like I have a better understanding of the power of the 360 now and I’m thrilled to go race with some experience now,” he said.
