DILLON, S.C. — Former O’Reilly United Sprint Car Series/ AOAS Champion Johnny Bridges won the 35-Lap O’Reilly USCS Asphalt Thunder Tour main event at Dillon Motor Speedway Saturday night.
Bridges began the night as fast qualifier and with a heat win.
The victory was the third of his USCS career.
Bridges bolted to the lead on a restart after the initial green flag was interrupted by a crash, overtaking Wayne Reutimann, Jr., who later retired due to suspension breakage.
From there, Bridges was forced to hold off the challenge of defending USCS champion Terry Gray, who settled for the runner-up spot. Derek Hagar was third ahead of Brit Adam Jackson in fourth and Doug Day in fifth. Brad Wickham returned to the track after a 15-year hiatus to finish sixth.
The finish:
Johnny Bridges, Terry Gray, Derek Hagar, Adam Jackson, Doug Day, Brad Wickham, Bronzie Lawson, Brandon Rekow, Wayne Reutimann, Jr., David Thorman, Wayne Reutimann, Sr., Wendy Mathis.
