MESQUITE, Texas (March 19, 2022) – Leading start to finish at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway, Washington’s Seth Bergman captured his 15th career victory with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.

With the win, Seth Bergman is tied with Wayne Johnson for the National Tour point’s lead.

Keeping glued to the bottom of the half-mile oval, Bergman was stalked start to finish by Sam Hafertepe, Jr. Taking a couple of shots at the lead on the narrow racing line, the chance to make the pass never presented itself as the leaders paced through lapped traffic.

Tire smoke the entire final lap, Bergman took the win by 0.809-seconds. Sam Hafertepe, Jr. grabbed second with Tony Bruce, Jr. third. Taking the win Friday night, Wayne Johnson rolled to a fourth-place finish with Scott Bogucki fifth.

Tucker Doughty crossed sixth with Dylan Westbrook seventh. John Carney II was eighth, followed by Blake Hahn and Jason Martin to complete the top ten.

A field of 46 drivers was on hand for the second night of the Devil’s Bowl Spring Nationals. The Driver’s Project quick time was Sam Hafertepe, Jr. with a lap time of 16.268-seconds. SCE Gaskets Heat Races numbered six with wins going to Scott Bogucki, Seth Bergman, John Carney II, Tucker Doughty, Ryan Bickett, and Landon Crawley. BMRS B-Features were topped by Kyler Johnson and Chase Randall. One provisional was used by Travis Reber.

The next event for the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series is Friday, March 25, and Saturday, March 26 at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. Races at Superbowl Speedway on Thursday unfortunately cannot be run.
