Jason Martin Tops ASCS
Showdown At Boothill
Speedway!
Bryan Hulbert –
GREENWOOD, La. (April
22, 2023) -
Rolling in with a score
to settle Saturday night
after suffering a
massive crash in 2022,
Jason Martin did just
that at Boothill
Speedway with the
American Sprint Car
Series, leading start to
finish at the
three-eighths-mile oval
for his second win in as
many races.
The fifth time the tour
has visited Boothill
Speedway, the trend of
different winners
continues, with Jason
adding his name to the
list.
“We had a great race car
tonight. I love this
kind of track where you
have to search around,
and it just keeps
changing throughout the
race. It was fun,”
stated Jason. “I’m very
proud of this team. We
couldn’t have asked for
a better start to the
season, and now we just
have to do what we need
to do to keep it going.”
Martin’s sixth career
victory with the
American Sprint Car
Series, the No. 36 had
to fend off Seth Bergman
at the start. Stalked by
the No. 23 the first
nine laps, Seth slipped
to the show position on
Lap 10 as Landon Britt
worked into the
runner-up spot.
Working the hub of the
high-banked oval,
cautions offered the No.
10 a few shots at the
lead, but each time it
was Martin who held
point. Varying his line
as the track became more
and more technical, the
top three all raced to
the white flag with the
win hanging in the
balance. Needing to make
one last perfect lap,
Jason was able to hit
his marks to win by
0.588-seconds.
Landon Britt held on for
second over Seth
Bergman, with Howard
Moore winning the battle
for fourth over Cody
Gardner. Sixth went to
Matt Covington, followed
by Brandon Anderson.
Louisiana’s Koty Adams
crossed eighth, followed
by Kyler Johnson.
Involved in a caution on
Lap 5, Michael Day
rebounded to a top-ten
finish.
Saturday’s field broke
into three AR Dyno
Specialty Heat Races,
with wins going to Matt
Covington, Cody Gardner,
and Michael Day. The KSE
Hard Charger was Howard
Moore. All drivers in
attendance advanced to
the A-Feature. Landon
Britt was the overall
quick qualifier and
established a new track
record at
12.644-seconds.
The American Sprint Car
Series races again at
Moberly Motorsports Park
in Moberly, Mo., on
Saturday, May 13.
The 2023 season will
