Eric Lutz Sweeps ASCS Frontier Opening Weekend Wit

GILLETTE, Wyo. (June 3, 2017) First trip to Gillette Thunder Speedway was not an issue for Eric Lutz, who won Saturday’s feature event to complete the sweep of the 2017 season opening weekend with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region.

Banking his second career victory with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region, Lutz led start-to-finish on Saturday night. Normally 25 laps, the feature was cut down to 20 due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control that caused delays in the program. A thank you is in order to the staff of the Gillette Thunder Speedway for working to rearrange the running order to get the ASCS feature done first.

“I liked it. It was a lot of fun,” Lutz said of the track. “We stuck to the bottom. As the race went on the middle came in and it sealed it for us. The car just got better.”

Lutz told fans in Rod End Supply Victory Lane that, even though he lives on the far east end of South Dakota, he’d like to come back to race at the three-eighths mile clay oval in Gillette in the future along with Black Hills Speedway in Rapid City, S. Dakota.

“We’ll fit it in when we can. We want to come back,” Lutz said. “We got to meet a lot of new people and new fans. It’s always fun to see new things.”
