rebelracewriter Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Dupuy Takes ASCS Gulf South Win at HRP Lonnie Wheatley, BAYTOWN, Texas (June 21, 2008) – Louisiana's Michael Dupuy snared his first feature win of the year by topping Saturday night's 25-lap American Sprint Car Series Gulf South Region feature at Houston Raceway Park. In just his second series start of the season, the reigning ASCS Coastal Region champion avoided feature carnage that included at least a half dozen flips before taking the checkered flag aboard his Diamond-powered Smitty's Supply No. 4s Maxim. Dupuy was chased to the stripe by rookie shoe Michael McNeil, with Scottie McDonald, 17th-starter Skip Wilson and Brandon Corn rounding out the top five. Greg Rilat was sixth, with Brandon Berryman, Bruce Crockett, Channin Tankersley and Travis Elliott completing the top ten. Current series points leader Chris Sweeney, Rick Behr, Travis Knighton and Gary Watson each got upside down in separate attempts to start the feature event. There were no injuries. Travis Rilat, Jimmy Brooks, Crockett and Tankersley topped heat race action for the 31-car field, with Skip Wilson winning the "B" Main. Rilat blew an engine in the feature while Tankersley flipped while making a bid for the lead in the feature.
