White a Gulf South Winner in Waco!

Cody Morris, Waco, Texas (4-27-2012) - The Griffith Truck & Equipment ASCS Gulf South region cruised into Waco’s Heart O’ Texas Speedway Friday night, looking to place the first divisional contender in victory lane in the seventh event of the season.

Winning each of the six Gulf South events contested thus far in the 2012 season, the ASCS National Tour invaders were due to battle each other in Oklahoma and Arkansas this weekend, leaving the door wide open for the first for Griffith Truck & Equipment ASCS Gulf South regulars to earn their way into victory lane.

Fort Worth, Texas racer George White survived a spirited race long haunting by former Gulf South champ Brandon Berryman en route to his first victory of the Gulf South campaign aboard the Swafford Electric no. 10.

Berryman pulled alongside numerous times, but White’s high line around HoT’s semi banked, ¼ mile oval proved true by a slim two car lengths at the finish line of the 25 lap main event.

Known nationally for both his achievements in the modified ranks and his versatility to compete in almost any form of auto racing; White’s triumph marked his first ASCS victory at Waco’s Heart O’ Texas Speedway.

Albuquerque, New Mexico’s Josh Hodges took advantage of a lap 17 stoppage that bunched the field back up, battling past Beau Smith and Channin Tankersley in one fell swoop to ultimately claim show position honors and leave Smith and Tankersley to complete the top five running order.

Advancing via B Feature action, Tommy Bryant climbed 8 positions to nab seventh in the final rundown, earning The Woodlands’ based racer the Hard Charger effort.

Heat race wins over the 27 car field belonged to Beau Smith, Brandon Berryman, Travis Elliott, and Channin Tankersley; with Bryant taking the lead transfer in the evenings’ 12 lap B Feature.

The weekend of Griffith Truck & Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region action concludes with a Saturday night finale at Killeen’s Texas Thunder Speedway that features the first ever ASCS event at the Killeen’s ¼ mile battleground.
