No Wing, No Problem For Hagar

PARAGOULD, Ark. — Capturing his first career victory with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating, Derek Hagar became the tour’s 35th different winner.

Topping action at Crowleys Ridge Raceway during the track’s No Fender Friday event, Hagar made it three events in a row that a local driver has fended off the charge of the Texas-based tour.

The highest finishing regular with the Elite Non-Wing Series, in second place, was Mason Smith, while Justin Zimmerman made the final podium step. Zimmerman would go on to win the night’s Midget A-Feature.

Paul White was fourth with last year’s event winner, Anthony Nicholson, crossing fifth.
