Nienhiser claims first ASCS Warrior Region win
By Bryan Hulbert (Eldon, MO) -- Becoming the 74th driver to roll into Victory Lane with the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps, Paul Nienhiser picked up the win Friday night to opening the Inaugural Spring 360 Nationals aboard the CAM2 Blue Blood/Mason Sound No. 9x.
Chasing Jay Russell the first four laps, the No. 76j suddenly turned to the infield with mechanical issues. Handing the lead by Zach Daum, the No. 5d set the pace until Lap 23 when Nienhiser was able to complete the pass. Able to pull away from Daum, the Chapin, Ill racer crossed 2.260 seconds ahead of Daum's No. 5d.
Rolling through the field from 10th, Washington's Seth Bergman made it to the show position with Brian Bell following from ninth. Coming from eighth, Oklahoma's Wayne Johnson made up the top-five. Tim Crawley was sixth with Austin Alumbaugh from 12th to finish seventh. Curtis Boyer, Kyle Bellm, and Miles Paulus complete the top-ten.
The Inaugural Spring 360 Nationals at Lake Ozark Speedway continues Saturday, May 26 with a $4,000 winner's check on the line. If Nienhiser can win, he will collect a $5,000 bonus.
