American Sprint Cars on Tour
Aaron Berryhill's tenacity on the low side of
Lake Ozark Speedway's 1/3-mile clay oval paid dividends on Saturday night as
the Broken Arrow, OK, racer made a white-flap lap pass of Jason Johnson en
route to capturing his first career O'Reilly American Sprint Cars on Tour
National series feature win.
Berryhill and Johnson dueled for the lead over more than half the distance
before Berryhill finally took command on the 29th of 30 laps, taking the
checkered flag aboard the Wesmar-powered Americash Advance No. 97 Eagle in
front of 17th-starter Gary Wright, who relegated Johnson to third on the
final lap.
"Wow, I'm pretty fired up right now!" Berryhill exclaimed in victory lane.
"This is my first ASCS win, it's been a long time coming."
After gridding the feature field inside the fourth row, Berryhill had
scratched his way into second behind pole starter and race long leader Jason
Johnson by the time the race's final caution flag flew after 16 laps.
