Brady Bacon Victorious in ASCS 305 Shootout
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (March 15, 2014) - After having to drop to the tail Friday night at the El Paso Speedway Park and coming to fourth, it was evident that Brady Bacon had the speed to win and it showed Saturday night as the Broken Arrow, Okla. shoe lapped through tenth to collect the $3,000 winner's check at the ASCS 305 Sprint Car Shootout at the Southern New Mexico Speedway.
Gridding the Minks Motorsports No. 199 eleventh, Bacon ran down Jason Johnson in slower traffic to grab the lead with 12 laps to run, opening his advantage to 6.293 seconds in the final circuits. Brady is the first non-local driver to win the event, and the fourth different winner in five years.
