Jason Trammell Tames the Taz for Round #9 UCRA Victory
Tazewell, TN (8/5/17) --- Jason Trammell of Knoxville, Tennessee, defended his home-track turf Saturday at Tazewell Speedway with a $2,500 victory in United Crate Racing Alliance feature. Trammell took the checkers ahead of Jesse Lowe and UCRA points leader Rusty Ballenger in the "Bad Fast 40". earning himseld the sixth different winner in nine series races so far in 2017 and a little vindication from last May when a crash took away a runner up finish late in the race. Lowe logged his fifth straight runner-up finish on the series, when Forrest Trent careened off the turn four wall coming to the white flag in second behind Trammell. Ballenger set fast time over the field with a mark of 12:286 seconds. Heat one was won by "Big" Mack McCarter who would get punted into the turn four outside wall and violently flip his new CVR racecar after making contact on the start with Trent. McCarter was uninjured but supplied Taz-Fans a up-close seat of the hard lick. Heat two winning Trammell racing his # 97 Bloomquist Racecar sponsored by "Trammell Construction, Hatmaker Holdings, Dents-R-Us, Tornado Alley Car Wash, Smoky Mountain Wellness Magazine, Fastlane Graphics, Brucebilt Performance, Charlie Brown Co. Screen Printing & Embroidery Services, Hoosier Tire South by Pup and Integra Shocks" was virtually unchallenged despite the green/white/checkers restart scenario with Lowe in second, started from the outside pole position. The UCRA fall schedule is being updated currently and www.UCRAracing.com will have new information this week regarding the season finals.
