Aschenback 18th in NASCAR debut

Road-course racer Lawson Aschenbach made an impressive debut in NASCAR competition Saturday, finishing 18th in the Road America 180 Xfinity Series race at Road America.

Racing in the series for the first time, Aschenbach qualified 23rd in the SEM Products Chevrolet and raced as high as 10th before bringing the car home 18th on the lead lap.

“It was an exciting day,” Aschenbach said. “To race for the first time in the Xfinity Series was a big thing for me, and to come home with a pretty good finish was even better. I felt right at home in the car right away. Looking forward to the next one.”
