Tyson Franks Burns Down Fourth Win of 2013 with Batesville Victory
Batesville, Arkansas (08/20/13) – Tyson Franks Racing participated in the Open Wheel Modified portion of the 21st Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 over the weekend at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) in his #F1 ROCKHARD Powder Coating/Shaw by TFR/Wayne Brooks Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified and came away with his fourth win of the 2013 season!
Friday night found 24 entries on hand for the $900-to-win event, and a 2nd place finish in his heat race positioned Franks starting 6th in the main event. He would race in the top five throughout the feature before crossing the finish line in the 3rd position behind race winner, Jeff Taylor, and Ritchie Tosh.
After seeing Saturday night's program at Batesville Motor Speedway fall victim to rain, Tyson was in action on Sunday afternoon at the speed plant, in a $1,000-to-win program that was sponsored by Larry Shaw Race Cars and Central Arkansas Pest Services. Tyson started in the 2nd spot for the feature alongside Jared Landers. Franks snagged the lead at the drop of the green flag and would receive strong challenges for the lead throughout the event before racing to the victory, which marked his fourth of the 2013 season! Landers, Brian Ritchie, Jeff Taylor, and Ryan Moore rounded out the top five finishers.
"With the rules opened up for the weekend it was awesome to actually get to race at my home track for a change, and it was even more awesome to score the win," Franks commented after his win.
Full results from the event are available at www.BatesvilleMotorSpeedway.net.
This Saturday, August 24th Franks will compete in a Weekly Racing Series Event at Northeast Arkansas Speedway. For more information on the event please visit www.NEASpeedway.com .
