“Zak Attack” Hausler, Charles Evans, Jr, big winners at Houston Motorsports Park, June 21, 2014

 

Houston, TX (June 22, 2014) – NASCAR Fiesta Modified drivers Zak “Zak Attack” Hausler and Zach Knowles waged a nose-to-tail - often side-by-side - battle for the lead for 65 of the 75 laps of the “Fiesta Mart 75” at Houston Motorsports Park Saturday, but at the checkered it was Hausler the winner over youngster Clayton Green and perennial track champion Joe Aramendia.

Knowles’ night ended 10 laps too early when he was involved in a multi-car pileup involving most of the front runners - except Hausler - during a late-race restart. With too much damage to his suspension to continue, Knowles was forced to retire along with veteran Matt Merrell, who ran a strong third most of the race, and Johnny Walker, winner of two NASCAR Fiesta Modified events this season at the well-groomed, 3/8-mile asphalt/concrete oval.

 

That left Hausler, no stranger to the HMP victory platform with his Raymond DeLahoussaye-prepared ride, to fend off Green and Aramendia over the final laps to pick up his first win of the season.

 

In the first 10-lap heat race, Aramendia waited until turn four of the last lap to turn race-leader Michael Kourkoubes around to take the win. Two weeks earlier, Kourkoubes had turned Aramendia around late in the feature while Aramendia was leading and scooted off for the win. Perhaps a bit of a feud brewing here?

NASCAR BWFS Coke Truck drivers Charles Evans, Jr, and Jake French had the crowd on its feet as the pair came to the finish line side-by-side at the end of the action-packed “BWFS Industries 50.” Evans was running second on the last lap, but got under French in the last turn and took the checkered by less than a hundredth of a second to collect his second checkered flag of the season.

Jim Phillips, Travis Benson and Mike Coursey were in the mix for the entire 50 laps and finished in a tight pack directly behind the leaders. Kyle Books was also in the hunt until he pitted with a flat after a skirmish with another truck. And Mason Teague was on his way to the front when fire erupted under his ride ending his night early.

 

There was only a 0.3-second spread in lap times for the entire 16-car field which led to some very exciting racing all through the pack for the pro style trucks.

David Webster usually dominates this class, but for the second NASCAR American Muscle Cars Series event in a row, he retired early with mechanical problems. That left the door wide open for Nathan Demski to take his second win-in-a-row in the “BWFS Industries 50.”
