Jason Martin Returns To
ASCS National Victory
Lane At Lake Ozark
Speedway!
Bryan Hulbert –
ELDON, Mo. (May 28,
2023) Bouncing
back at Lake Ozark
Speedway, Jason Martin
captured his fourth win
of the season with the
National Tour of the
American Sprint Car
Series and first of his
career at the
one-third-mile oval.
The eighth time Jason
Martin has topped the
American Sprint Car
Series National Tour,
the Lake Ozark win is
his first in the state
of Missouri.
Adding to his runner-up
finish on Friday, Martin
shot the outside on the
start to capture the
lead over Blake Hahn.
Fending off the
challenge from the
DriveWFX.com No. 52 in
traffic, Martin went on
to lead the full 30-lap
feature event.
“I felt like I needed to
get out front early
because I really figured
the top was going to be
the dominant place to
be, but I was worried it
was going to be slimy
still on the start.
Blake took off really
good on the bottom, and
I spun my tires in the
middle, so I just
decided to rip the top,
and it worked,”
explained Jason of the
start.
Able to hold on to the
runner-up spot after
several attempts by Joe
B. Miller to take it,
Blake Hahn was
ultimately joined on the
podium Seth Bergman, who
has finished on the
podium in seven
consecutive outings with
the ASCS National Tour.
Taking advantage of a
couple of restarts in
the closing laps, Miles
Paulus raced from ninth
to fourth, with Jordon
Mallett rebounding from
a failed ignition box at
the start of the night,
to earn the KSE Hard
Charger with a run from
21st to fifth.
Jace Park crossed sixth,
followed by Kyle Bellm.
Brandon Anderson made up
five positions to finish
eighth, with Joe B.
Miller slipping to ninth
on the final laps with a
failing tire. Howard
Moore made up five spots
to complete the top ten.
Sunday night at Lake
Ozark Speedway featured
a 27-car field, with Joe
B. Miller setting the
overall quick qualifying
time at 12.428-seconds.
A trio of AR Dyno
Specialty Heat Races
went to Colton Hardy,
Jason Martin, and Jace
Park. The BMRS B-Feature
was topped by Terry
Easum. Provisional
starts were used by
Christopher Townsend and
Kyler Johnson.
The American Sprint Car
Series is back on track
on Friday, June 2, at
Outlaw Motor Speedway
and Saturday, June 3, at
Caney Valley Speedway.
The two events make up
the Mickey Walker
Classic, with each night
paying $4,222 to win,
$422 to start.
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
non-wing competition.
