ABILENE, Texas (April 26, 2014) - For the first time in 2014, Johnny Herrera grabbed an ASCS feature win, leading start to finish with the Smiley's Racing Products ASCS Lone Star Region at the Abilene Speedway on Saturday night.
The $2,000 score was Herrera's second against the Lone Star Region, winning by a straight-a-way over the No. 17 of Blake Hahn.

Kolt Walker crossed sixth with Harli White seventh after spinning on a Lap 1 restart. Shawn Petersen, Patrick Stasa, and Gary Floyd completed the top ten.
