Top-5 for Gustin at Monett

Ryan Gustin and the No. 19r Gressel Racing team ventured south to the Monett Speedway on Sunday night for the 44th annual 4-State Dirt Track Championships featuring the MARS DIRTcar Series. After coming from the back of his heat to finish third, Gustin started ninth in the $4,000-to-win main event. Unfortunately, the track was pretty locked down with very tough passing. In the end, 'The Reaper' passed four cars en route to a fifth-place finish.
