WHEATLAND, Mo. — Adding his name to the list of winners on Saturday night, Seth Bergman became the eighth different driver since 2012 to top the Impact Signs, Awnings and Wraps Open Wheel Showdown at Lucas Oil Speedway.
A co-sanctioned affair between the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products and ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps, the win is Bergman’s sixth with the Warrior Region and 14th in Sooner competition.
Taking off from the pole after the initial start was called back, Bergman took the lead immediately. In traffic in a matter of laps, the No. 23 was masterful. Held up only a few times, it was enough to allow Blake Hahn to close in each occurrence. Able to up his pace just in time through the holdups, Bergman made it to the line with 1.743 seconds to spare.
A hair-raising save through the final turns after getting over the cushion, Blake Hahn held on for second, while Miles Paulus crossed third for his second podium finish of the weekend.Â
Matt Covington was fourth with Sean McClelland rolling from 14th to fifth.
The finish:
Feature (25 Laps): 1. 23-Seth Bergman[3]; 2. 52-Blake Hahn[4]; 3. 98P-Miles Paulus[1]; 4. 95-Matt Covington[2]; 5. 87-Sean McClelland[14]; 6. 55B-Brandon Anderson[11]; 7. 24-Garet Williamson[9]; 8. 51B-Joe B Miller[6]; 9. 12-Jeffrey Newell[8]; 10. 10-Landon Britt[5]; 11. 21-Gunner Ramey[7]; 12. 14E-Kyle Bellm[15]; 13. 5D-Zach Daum[16]; 14. 8-Alex Sewell[18]; 15. 50Z-Zach Chappell[13]; 16. 10C-Jeremy Campbell[19]; 17. 4-Evan Martin[20]; 18. 11-Austin O’Neal[17]; 19. 2-Chase Porter[10]; 20. 77-Jack Wagner[12]
