Bryan Hulbert – QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. (June 12, 2021) Making it three career wins with the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series, the “Radio Flyer” did just that on Saturday as Bruce St. James rolled into Victory Lane at Arizona Speedway.
Going green from fifth, Bruce took over the lead just before the halfway point, then wheeled the No. 7k to a 3.163-second advantage at the finish for his second win in as many races this season. From seventh, Randy Nelson crossed second with A.J. Hernandez in third. Eugene Thomas and Bryan Ledbetter, Jr. completed the top five.
Rick Shuman, Pete Yerkovich, John Romero, Phillip Deeney, and Jim Green made up the top ten.
Off for the hottest stretch of the summer, the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series races again on September 11 at Arizona Speedway.
The 2021 season marks the 30th year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, the ASCS Nation also includes 11 Regional Tours that encompass both wing and non-wing competition.
