Westin Abbey completes charge from 17th for dramatic Dirty 30 payday

FORT WORTH, Texas (Feb. 20) – Being faster by a fraction of a second coming out of the final turn made Westin Abbey rich Thursday night. Abbey raced all the way from 17th starting to the front of the Dirty 30 IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature field at Texas Motor Speedway, beating Ryan Powers to the checkers by half a car length as the pair ran side-by-side to the finish. The Comanche speedster took home $3,000 for the victory.

Egbert answers when Lone Star Tour opportunity knocks at Devil’s Bowl

MESQUITE, Texas (March 6, 2023) – Opportunity knocked and G.W. Egbert IV answered Monday night, in the third installment of the Sunoco Race Fuels Lone Star Tour presented by Sniper Speed. Egbert drove to the inside to pass Angel Munoz and race-long leader William Gould coming to the line on the 19th of 25 laps, then kept Munoz and Cody Smith at bay for the $2,000 IMCA Sunoco Stock Car checkers at Devil’s Bowl Speedway.  “I was just waiting and sizing them up,” said Egbert, who had worked his way into contention from the ninth starting spot. “As long as I hit my marks, I knew I would be right there.” Gould and Munoz had run 1-2 through three early cautions. Egbert was in third for good by lap 15 and took advantage when an open lower line presented itself four laps later.  The new B & B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational candidate got the win just under a tick under a second ahead of Munoz, with Sunday winner and tour points leader Smith, Gould and [Read More]
