CRANDALL, Texas – Wheeling the Ray Williams/City Vending No. 22x Friday night, Oklahoma’s Steven Shebester added his name to the record books with this first victory with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating at RPM Speedway.
Fifth the first in the opening Heat Race, Shebester drew the right of the third row for the feature.
Up to third before a caution, and eventually a red working Lap 2, the No. 22x threaded the needle for the runner-up spot as Jason Howell shot by Stephen Smith for the lead. Trying the lower groove briefly the following lap, Shebester returned to the cushion with the pass for the point on through turns one and two with five laps complete.
Keeping pace through the remainder of the feature, Shebester was chased to the line by Raven Culp, who worked to the runner-up spot from eighth. Jason Howell slipped back to third with Paul White fourth and Stephen Smith fifth.
