The ASA Southern Super Series returned to Montgomery Motor Speedway (AL) on Saturday, April 13th for the Rumble by the River 125.
For the first time in 2-1/2 years, Matt Craig found his way to Victory Lane in an ASA Southern Super Series event, winning the Rumble by the River 125 in dominating fashion.
Craig took the lead from Michael Hinde on lap 84, and paced the final 40 circuits to claim his first series win since the All-American 400 at Nashville in November 2021. Craig beat Dustin Smith to the checkers by nearly 3 seconds.
ASA STARS National Tour Series regulars Billy Van Meter; Gio Ruggiero and Casey Roderick rounded out the top five.
After a hard-fought battle for second place, John Bolen and Stephen Nasse were poised to both finish on the podium. However, the two drivers came together on the final lap, relegating them to 14th and 15th place finishes, respectively.
April is a busy month for the ASA Southern Super Series. Having now sanctioned four events in 2024, including two that were combination events with the ASA STARS National tour, the heart of this season’s schedule will take place across a 170-mile triangle in the Deep South between Montgomery, Mobile, and Pensacola. For the first time since 2018, the series will run three events in one month, including a Friday / Saturday doubleheader weekend at Pensacola and Mobile April 26th and 27th.
