Winger victorious at Lake Cumberland; bags $10,000 in weekly Hell Tour points chase
With Sunday's original date wiped out due to rain, Ashton Winger unloaded his Mathews Motorsports No. 12 machine at Lake Cumberland Speedway (Burnside, Ky.) on Monday afternoon to finish off the third week of DIRTcar Summer Nationals competition.
Following the fastest-lap in qualifying, Ashton picked up the victory in his heat race which placed him on the front-row of the 40-lap main event. With a $7,500 payday on the line, Winger ran in second behind Tyler Clem before making a late move around the race-long leader to score his fourth Hell Tour victory of the season. He topped Tyler Clem, Billy Moyer Jr., Greg Johnson, and Brenden Smith who completed the Top-5.
The victory secured Winger's points lead and he pocketed $10,000 in the "Southern Week" standings for the third week of the DIRTcar Summer Nationals.
