Jason Howell driving the #44 won the SST A-Main event Saturday night at 85 Speedway near Ennis. Howell started 12th in the inverted field of 20 sprinters and quickly moved to the third spot by lap five. As Ed French in #17 tried to find a way around the early leader Bruce Bridges in #11, Howell saw an opening and made his move into second on lap 12. He shadowed Bridges for five more laps until lap 17 when he took the lead. Jerry Hammock in #01 had to start dead last in the field as his reward for winning the previous event’s A-main and passed every car in the field except Howell to finish in second. Bridges was able to hang on for third after leading 16 of the twenty laps.
The next SST event is scheduled for Saturday October 29th at Kileen’s Texas Thunder Speedway.
