Hillier and Askvig Grab First Wins; Hendrickson and Knapp Score Victories

9/9/22

Everson, WA – With the season rolling toward its epic conclusion, Deming Speedway saw two new race winners crowned and two repeat winners emerge. Racing on the night was sponsored by NW Propane and Special T Signs, with Levi Hillier, Steven Hendrickson, Avery Askvig and Colton Knapp winning the features. 

Since moving up to the Speedmart 600 Open division, Levi Hillier has been on the cusp of his first feature win, piling up podium finishes as he searched for his first win in the premier division. After Friday night, Levi is searching no more, as the young hotshoe drove past Colin Mackey on lap eight to take the lead and eventual win, building up a huge advantage over the feel on his march toward victory lane. Mackey brought the Phil Perkins owned mount home second, with Parker Hadlock charging up six spots to finish third. Heat race wins went to Macie Logsdon and Jared Alseth. 

It was a shootout at the front of the Shots 2 Go Espresso 1200 main event. Clennon Holloway controlled the race from the drop of the green flag, with Steven Hendrickson and Brock Lemley doggedly pursuing him. Holloway held the top spot as the trio pushed into lapped traffic before trouble with a slower car on lap 17 sent him shooting toward the outside wall, letting Hendrickson and Lemley by. Hendrickson would keep Lemley at bay over the final eight laps to score the feature win, with Brock taking second and Holloway recovering to third place after falling back as far as fifth. Lemley was a heat winner, as were Jacob Buckenmeyer and Derek Holmwood. 

Avery Askvig picked up the feature win in the Mytrafficman.NET 600 Restricted division. The rookie driver led all 25 laps of the main event for her first win in the class. Mallory Fisher and Peyton Drake had a fantastic battle for second and third place, that ended up with Mallory ahead of Peyton at the checkered flag. Askvig was also a heat race winner, as was Dean Lehmann and Avery Touchette. 

In the Clean Crawls JR Sprints, Colton Knapp went wire to wire without challenge to score the A Main event win in a race that was littered with caution flags. McKenna Morgan and Cooper Anderson rounded out the podium. Chase Whitney, Morgan and Kole Campbell won the heat races.
