Morgan Turpen picked up her fourth USCS Sprint Car Series win of the season on Saturday night in the 7th Annual Senoia Summernationals at Georgia’s Senoia Raceway, holding off Howard Moore for the victory.

The Cordova, Tennessee racer took the lead after a lap 13 crash took out early race leader Eric Riggins, Jr. After the restart, Moore moved up to challenge Turpen for the point, taking the lead on lap 23.

His time at the front was short lived, as a caution flag came out when Johnny Gilbertson, Jr. stalled on the front straightaway to negate the pass. Turpen led Moore down for the restart, and was able to hold him off for the win.

Moore had to settle for second, with Lance Moss in third, Terry Gray in fourth and Curt Terrell in fifth.

Nick Snyder, Danny Sams III, Pendergrass, Georgia’s Brian Thomas, Brandon McClain and Ray Bugg rounded out the top ten.

The caution flag came out early in the 25-lap main event, as Shawn Murray spun in turn one on lap one to necessitate a complete restart. On the next try, Gilbertson led Turpen, Riggins, Moore, and Moss. Gray got by Moss to take over the fifth spot on lap two, and then got around Moore on lap three for the fourth position.

Turpen took the lead from Gilbertson on lap six with an outside move while Riggins and Moss dropped Gilbertson back to fourth on lap seven to stay with the leader. The caution came out again on lap nine for debris in turn three. Turpen led Riggins, Gray, Moore, Moss and Gilbertson down for the restart.

When the green flag came out, Riggins got a run on Turpen and took the lead coming off the second turn. Moore and Moss took over third and fourth respectively on the restart, as Gray dropped back to fifth. Riggins was in lapped traffic on lap 13 when he jumped the cushion on the high side of the race track and hit the fourth turn wall doing heavy damage to his race car.

Rain over Senoia Raceway forced a 40 minute delay during the caution period, but the cars were pushed off to continue the final 12 laps with Turpen back in the lead.

Jeff Willingham stalled on lap 15 to bring out another caution. Turpin continued to lead after the restart, but Jake McLain stalled in turn one to bring out the caution flag again on lap 16.

After the next restart, Moore moved up to challenge Turpen for the lead. The leaders worked through lapped traffic, with Moore taking the lead on lap 23. But it was all for naught, as the yellow flag came out for Gilbertson, who stalled in turn one.

Turpen led the field down for a two lap dash to the finish. Moore tried both inside and outside to challenge for the lead, but with clear race track in front of her, the 23-year-old hit her marks and scored the victory.

In preliminary action, Moore, Gray and Moss won in their heat races.

Up next for the USCS Sprint Car Series is a busy Labor Day Weekend, with the tour first racing at Georgia’s Lavonia Speedway on Friday, Sept. 2. On Saturday, Sept. 3, the series will be at South Carolina’s Laurens Speedway, and will wrap up the weekend on Monday, Sept. 5 at Tri County Race Track in Brasstown, North Carolina.
