Justin Henderson and Billy Alley Claim Victories in Fall Brawl 4
GREENWOOD, Neb. (September 19, 2015) After Mother Nature reduced the fourth annual Casey’s General Store ASCS Midwest Fall Brawl presented by Just 1 More Promotions, twin A-Features on Saturday at the I-80 Speedway were split between South Dakota’s Justin Henderson and Nebraska’s Billy Alley.
Two attempts on the start in the opening A-Feature after Brian Brown flipped on the first attempt, Henderson jumped ahead of Matt Covington who was left to battle with Aaron Reutzel who worked by just prior to the caution on Lap 5.
Watching as Henderson sped away, Aaron’s chance would come in the race’s midpoint as traffic brought the No. 1 to his front bumper. Exchanging wicked slide jobs at both ends of the I-80 Speedway, the B.C. Fundz No. 87 finally gained the advantage on Lap 17.
Caution again on Lap 21, Aaron ran away on the restart until traffic again became a factor. This time as the hunter, Justin Henderson watched the white flag wave with a slower car directly in the racing groove. Lining up for a high-side pass, the caution lights again clicked on.
Ready to pace to the green, Reutzel’s night turned sour as the left rear tire went flat. Handing the lead to Henderson, the Sioux Falls, S.D. driver was unchallenged to the finish.
“Aaron had a really good racecar. He beat me in traffic and we could get little runs on him here and there but it played out well in our favor,” said Henderson who was also given his favorite brand of Whiskey in Victory Lane. With a laugh and grin, Justin said, “I don’t always drink Whisky, but when I do, it’s Jack Daniels.”
Wayne Johnson picked up the second spot, and was also the Electric Systems podium draw recipient of $300. Seth Bergman raced to a third place finish after starting 10th. Seth Brahmer was fourth with Don Droud, Jr. completing the top five.
Picking up the Zomer Trucking Hard Charger Award worth $1,000 was sixth place Johnny Herrera who advanced 13 positions. Coming to a stop on Lap 21, Blake Hahn battled back to a seventh place finish with Dusty Zomer, Josh Baughman, and Tyler Drueke making up the top-ten.
An inverted 12 car lock-in from the first A-Feature put Billy Alley on the pole of the second A-Feature.
Caution on the first start for Dusty Zomer, two other drivers ended up coming to a stop; including 13th starting, Aaron Reutzel. Looking like his night was done in the work area, the No. 87 benefited from a false start that give him just enough time to return.
Taking off to a comfortable lead, Alley was chased by Josh Baughman who shot from fourth to second on the start. Closing the gap as the leaders found traffic, Josh rode right at a half-second behind as the rubber set in.
A caution on the white flag lap, the Odessa, Texas driver tried for the lead, but would not be able to get it away from Billy Alley.
Alley’s first win with the National Tour since 2006, it was his seventh career feature win, it was his first at the I-80 Speedway in ASCS National competition.
“Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good,” said Alley. “We really struggled in the first feature, and it put us in the right spot. When the track rubbered up, we just didn’t make any mistakes. It’s pretty sweet to be in Victory Lane at the I-80 Speedway.”
Josh Baughman crossed second, and was the $300 winner of the Electric Systems Podium Draw, with Johnny Herrera third from seventh. Seth Bergman came from 10th to fourth with Blake Hahn finishing fifth.
Jason Martin picked up the Zomer Trucking Hard Charger $1,000 bonus in the second feature event, coming from 15th to sixth. Tyler Drueke was seventh with Wayne Johnson eight from 11th. Jordan Weaver crossed ninth with Justin Henderson making up the top-ten.
A field of 29 drivers saw four Heat Races going to Seth Brahmer, Jordan Weaver, Aaron Reutzel, and Jordan Boston. B-Feature wins went to Brian Brown and Aaron Reutzel. Kyle Bellm and Kris Miller utilized Provisionals in the first A-Feature.
The Lucas Oil ASCS presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Networks head for the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26 for the 5th annual Hockett/McMillin Memorial.
