VADO, N.M. — John Carney II captured his seventh career ASCS Southwest Region victory Saturday night at Vado Speedway Park. His victory came on the opening night of the 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. Grady ended up fourth with Don Grable making up the top five.
