OSKALOOSA, Iowa — Wayne Johnson used a mid-race pass to take the Sage Fruit Ultimate ASCS Challenge Tuesday night at Southern Iowa Speedway.

The 25-lap ASCS feature got off to a rocky start when Jon Agan and Shawn Murray crashed on the backstretch.

Once underway, Californian Willie Croft led Tucker Doughty and Matt Covington.  Wayne Johnson, who started in row four, was by Covington for third by lap four.

Four circuits later, Johnson slid by Doughty for second and set his sights on the leader.  On lap 12, Johnson slid under Croft to lead, but Croft battled back by to lead lap 13 in a good battle.  Johnson took the point for good on lap 14, before hitting lapped traffic on the 16th circuit.

ASCS point leader, Sam Hafertepe Jr., was surging as well, moving into the top three on lap 16.  The final caution came out for a stopped Trey Starks with nine to go.  Meanwhile, a fire ended Covington’s night while running fourth.

Johnson pulled away on the restart, while Hafertepe took second on lap 18. Johnson would hold on for the win, ahead of Hafertepe, Croft, Doughty and Scott Bogucki.

Brady Bacon won from the tail in the companion POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League Ultimate Challenge event.
