BENTON, Mo. -- For the first time in 15 years, the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 made their presence known at Benton Speedway in Benton, Missouri, and it was Marion, Arkansas’ Derek Hagar who claimed the triumph, upsetting “America’s Series” for an $8,000 score and a first-ever Series victory. Hagar, an eight-time 360 sprint car winner before venturing to Benton Speedway, took command of the 30-lap contest on lap 11, utilizing a post-open red flag restart to slide race-long leader and Rudeen Racing ace, Zeb Wise, in turn one. Wise attempted to return the favor the following set of turns, but Hagar was able to defend.

Once taking command, Hagar set sail, eventually switching his focus to the bottom of the speedway just beyond halfway. An abrasive surface led to a bottom dominant groove, and that’s where Hagar stayed, catching the back of the field in the late stages with a quick closing Wise and Corey Day. Day, who got by Wise on lap 27, drove to the back bumper of Hagar in the final two circuits, but time ran thin.

Day raced on to finish second, followed by Wise, Tim Shaffer, and Vermeer Motorsports’ Kerry Madsen.
