Eric Lutz Notches ASCS Frontier Regional Victory A

RAPID CITY, S.D. (June 2, 2017) Eric Lutz was wanting to do something a little different from the usual, so he went west. The move paid off as he took the win in Friday's season opening event with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region at Black Hills Speedway. Opening weekend for the ASCS Frontier Region provided the opportunity to face some different competition. The win comes in his second visit to the Rapid City half-mile.

Driving his own No. 5 Maxim, Lutz worked around Clint Anderson for the lead early in the 25-lap feature after starting outside the front row. He then held off a determined D.J. Brink to take the victory, his first with the Frontier Region.

"We learned the layout of the place the first time we were here, and we learned a bit of what not to do," said Lutz. "We used some of that experience tonight, and we're basically learning to race against different racers and gain some experience."

Lutz's machine was on par with most others in Turns 1 and 2, but was superior to most others using the bottom of the track in Turns 3 and 4. He used that to make the move on Anderson.
