Hardy Stops Wofford By .031 Seconds

SOMERTON, Ariz. — Coming down to a last-lap battle at Cocopah Speedway on Saturday night, the margin of victory was the blink of an eye as Arizona’s Colton Hardy held off Wes Wofford by 0.031 seconds for his 12th career victory with the ASCS Southwest Region.

Rolling from seventh, Hardy slipped past Wofford coming to the white flag, then had to throw everything he had at it off the final turn to hold off the No. 01.

In a race, all their own, third finishing Lorne Wofford crossed 8.122-seconds later with Jayme Barnes and Charles Davis, Jr. completing the top five.
