ELDON, Mo. (July 1, 2017) Going back-to-back with the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps at Lake Ozark Speedway, Kyle Bellm led all 25 laps to pick up his third overall win on the 2017 season.
Beating out a field of 35 to kick off the Tiger Towing Red, White, and Blue Tour, Bellm had to keep Jonathan Cornell and Randy Martin at bay the entire race for the night’s $1,776 top prize. Never able to gain a very comfortable advantage over the two Warrior Region Champions, the pair came close but would end up on the next two podium steps.
Dustin Barks came across the line fourth with Tony Bruce, Jr. advancing from 11th to fifth. Ayrton Gennetten was sixth with Austin Alumbaugh seventh from 14th. Jack Dover eighth was trailed by Tyler Blank with Mitchell Moore making up the top-ten.
The final night of the Tiger Towing Red, White, and Blue Tour will see action at Double X Speedway in California, Mo. on Sunday, July 2. If Bellm can sweep the weekend, he’ll pick up an extra $500. More information Sunday’s event can be found on the track’s Facebook page.
