WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — Zane DeVault and Chase Howard drove to wins in a pair of 25-lap features Saturday night in the United Sprint Car Series 15th annual Flip Flop 50 at Riverside Int’l Speedway.
While DeVault and Howard both won from the pole position, there were plenty of position changes throughout the 24-car field in each race.
In the first 25-lap race, Landon Crawley came from the seventh starting position to finish second, while Derek Hagar started 17th and rallied to finish third.
The fourth and fifth spots were filled by a pair of National Sprint Car Hall of Fame drivers that started their illustrious careers as second-generation drivers at the track affectionately known as “The Ditch.”
Terry Gray, the 14-time USCS champion and current point leader took the fourth spot, and Sammy Swindell was fifth after starting 19th.
At the completion of the first 25-lap race, also known as the “Flip,” the drivers that took the checkered flag were “Flopped” for the start of the second 25-lap feature.
Chase Howard, who finished 21st in the first race took the pole for the second race, and DeVault started 22nd in the second race.
Hagar made another big charge in the second race to come from the 19th-starting hole to finish second behind Chase Howard.
Brady Baker took the third spot, followed by Gage Montgomery and Chris Martin.
