Wheatland, MO | Sept. 24, 2011 – Tim Crawley had designs of sweeping the weekend’s Jesse Hockett / Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, but Eunice, Louisiana’s Jason Johnson had other ideas as he denied Crawley the top step on the podium in Saturday night’s 30-lap Lucas Oil ASCS presented by K&N Filters main event at the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks”. “The Ragin’ Cajun” gunned into the lead at the outset and then held off some fierce challenges from Crawley in the closing rounds in the fast-paced, non-stop affair to secure the $6,000 triumph aboard the Don Ott-powered Haynes/Mesilla Valley Transport/Pope Properties No. 41 Maxim.

Johnson’s 54th career ASCS National win and sixth of the year marked his fourth win in the Memorial event after topping the initial three editions of the Daniel McMillin Memorial in 2007, 2008 and 2009 before Zach Chappell topped last year’s Hockett/McMillin Memorial.
