John Carney II Wins ASCS Southwest/POWRi Desert Opener At Vado Speedway Park
Bryan Hulbert – VADO, N.M. (May 28, 2022) Getting his seventh career victory with the ASCS Southwest Region, El Paso’s John Carney II wheeled the Verville Racing owned No. 01 to Victory Lane at Vado Speedway Park on Saturday night to open the weekend matchup between the ASCS Southwest Region and POWRi Desert Wing Sprint Series.
Besting a field of 21 at the three-eighths-mile oval, Carney bolted to the lead on Lap 7. Under fire from Josh Grady, the POWRi regular nearly took the point, but a caution would help Carney secure the lead, and eventually the win. Rolling up from ninth, Lorne Wofford claimed second with Brett Becker third. Josh Grady ended up fourth with Don Grable making up the top five.
Jesse Baker sixth was chased by Vance Wofford from 11th. Logan Calderwood, Royal Jones, and Caleb Saiz made up the top ten.
The ASCS Southwest Region and POWRi Desert Wing Sprint Series return for round two at the Vado Speedway Park on Sunday, May 29. Gates open at 5:00 P.M. with racing at 7:30 P.M. (MDT).
