In only his second Bandit Big Rig Series start, Tim Ashley, the driver of the No. 5 Spider-Man-themed truck, picked up his first career win at Myrtle Beach Speedway on Saturday, April 27.
Ashley started the race in fourth, but as soon as the green flag dropped, he shot between front row starters Austin Hoppe and Scott Treadway to take the lead before the first turn of the race.
Two-time defending Bandit Series champion Ricky “Rude” Proffitt took over second place and small fleet owner Allen Boles grabbed third before the end of the first lap.
Boles didn’t waste any time working to get around Proffitt and by lap four had taken the spot from his long-time friend.
