Dover Digs Up ASCS Regional Win

at Denison

Lonnie Wheatley, DENISON, Iowa (July 17, 2008) – Jack Dover tallied up his fourth overall American Sprint Car Series feature win of the season by racing to victory lane in Friday night's 25-lap ASCS Midwest vs. Northern Plains Regional challenge at Crawford County Speedway.

Dover slipped underneath early leader Ryan Anderson in turns three and four on the eleventh round en route to victory lane aboard the Eckley-powered 3D Auto Transport No. 53 Eagle.   Anderson chased Dover to the line, with Clint Garner, ASCS Northern Plains Region points leader Lee Grosz and Don Droud, Jr., rounding out the top five.  Gregg Bakker advanced ten positions to finish sixth.   With his second ASCS Midwest score in as many weeks, Dover moved atop the ASCS Midwest Region point charts with the assistance of a Brian Brown DNF.  Brown came to a stop after nine laps with overheating issues.   Billy Alley encountered bad luck as well, holding third until forced pitside after 19 laps.
