Seth Bergman Lands ASCS
Score At Longdale
Speedway
Bryan Hulbert –
LONGDALE, Okla. (May 21,
2023) Marking
his fourth podium finish
in as many outings with
the American Sprint Car
Series, Sunday at
Longdale Speedway was
Seth Bergman’s first
trip to the top step
with the National Tour
in 2023.
Pocketing $4,000 at the
Walley Rodeo Roundup,
the Corridor
Electric/Evergreen
Coffee, Co. No. 23 spent
the first six
revolutions battling
Tennessee's Howard
Moore. Gaining the
momentum needed to clear
the A.R. Dyno Specialty
No. 3 on the seventh
lap, Seth would hold the
point the rest of the
way for his 17th career
victory.
With the win, Seth now
leads tour standings for
the first time this
season by six points
over Jason Martin.
“Feels good. We’ve been
working really hard to
win one of these races
this year. The first
weekend, we came so
close, and then last
night stung running
second again, but hats
off to Jason [Martin];
he’s been the one to
beat. We’ve been good,
but starting position
has hindered us a little
bit, and tonight getting
the front row, I wanted
to make sure I made the
best of it,” stated
Bergman.
Jumping from fourth to
second following a Lap
15 restart, Matt
Covington landed his
first podium finish of
the season, with Landon
Crawley crossing third
for his best career
finish in ASCS National
competition. As high as
second after starting
11th, Kyler Johnson
would settle into fourth
on Lap 18, while Danny
Wood made the charge to
fifth on Lap 23.
Landon Britt was sixth,
followed by Brandon
Anderson. Jeremy
Campbell crossed eighth.
Shredding a left-rear
tire on Lap 15 after
running into the top
five, Jason Martin was
able to make it out from
the work area and rally
back to ninth, while
Jordon Mallett, who
changed an engine
following Qualifying,
drove through the field
to complete the top ten.
Sunday at the Walley
Rodeo Roundup saw Whit
Gastineau set the
overall quick time in
Qualifying at
14.942-seconds. A.R.
Dyno Specialty Heat Race
wins went to Howard
Moore, Landon Britt, and
Matt Covington. Sunday’s
field included 22
entries.
The next outing for the
American Sprint Car
Series is Friday, May
26, at Lakeside Speedway
(Kansas City, Kan.),
then Lake Ozark Speedway
(Eldon, Mo.) on
Saturday, May 27, and
Sunday, May 28.
The 2023 season will
mark the 32nd year of
competition for the
American Sprint Car
Series. Spearheaded by
the American Sprint Car
Series National Tour,
the ASCS Nation includes
Regional Tours that
encompass both wing and
