Ashton Torgerson 4th at Kings Speedway
PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to the central valley of California on Saturday night for more winged sprint car action, Ashton Torgerson had a strong showing at Kings Speedway as he netted a fourth place finish.

“With it being the end of the season, the car count was light, but we got a lot of track time, and I happy with how we ran at a track I haven’t competed on at too many times,” Ashton Torgerson said.

Tweaking the format with the car count, officials opted to use a dual heat race format opposed to time trials, and after the draw Torgerson lined up on the pole of his first heat race.

Battling hard, the Glendale, AZ driver finished in the third position and found himself lining up in the seventh starting position of his second heat race. From the back of the field, Torgerson was able to pick up a couple of positions as he took the checkered flag with a fifth place result.

Lining up in the third row, Torgerson ran into issues on the start of the race as he got up on the curb and slowed to a stop to bring out the yellow. Able to restart he race, Torgerson went back to the eighth position for the ensuing restart.

When the action resumed, he was able to make his way back forward and make up the lost ground he endured from the opening lap miscue. Getting into sixth on the sixth lap, Torgerson was into the Top-Five one lap later.

Into fourth on the ninth lap a nice battle was underway as he slipped back to fifth a lap later. Continuing to battle for track position within the Top-Five in the closing laps, Torgerson worked back int fourth with two laps to go in the race, and was able to hang on and finish there when the checkered flag flew.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-73, Wins-5, Top 5’s-16, Top 10’s-43
