BASSETT AND SWAIM TANGLE FOR UARA VICTORY AT ANDERSON

WILLIAMSTON, SC (June 16, 2013) -- Ronnie Bassett, Jr., only led two laps
of the UARA-STARS 150 on Friday night at Anderson Motor Speedway, but they
were the final and most important two circuits. Despite tangling with race
leader Travis Swaim going into the final lap, Bassett was able to hold on
to secure the victory. Swaim came to the line second, followed by Garrett
Campbell, Holley Performer of the Race Dillon Bassett and R.A. Brown.

Yet again, and for the third time this season, Travis Swaim claimed the
Sunoco Pole position and ran away from the field at the drop of the green
flag. The event was slowed early by a couple of cautions but Swaim held
off
challengers like eventual Xtreme Trophies and More / Circle Wheel Rookie
of the Race Garrett Jones and Brodie Kostecki.

The opening half of the race was rather calm and saw the top three drivers
break away from the field. Swaim's torrid pace later took its toll on them
as both Jones and Kostecki had problems that put them out of contention in
the final third of the event.

A couple of multi-car incidents marred the latter half of the race and saw
the field thin with attrition. With less than 40 laps to go, the field
restarted after a caution involving 55-year old rookie Dan Moore on the
frontstretch. Bassett and Campbell restarted just behind Swaim and battled
each other for the runner-up spot as Swaim began to once again stretch out
his lead.

The final restart came with 8 laps to go following a tangle between Garrett
Jones and Dylan Hall, and Bassett once again battled side by side with
Campbell for the runner up spot until he cleared the No. 12 car with four
laps to go. Bassett then ran down Swaim and, through the use of his front
bumper, moved Swaim out of the groove in turn four coming to the white
flag. Swaim and Bassett made significant contact, spinning both cars
nearly
perpendicular to traffic and blocking the track, but both drivers
recovered
and were able to finish the event. Bassett took a five car length lead home
to the checkered flag to claim his third win of the season.

"We sat back and tried to save our stuff but it was hard to do tonight. The
guys up front, Travis (Swaim) had a really good racecar and Garrett
(Campbell) did too, but it's tough. I know he'd have done the same thing
to
me on the last lap, but we'll move on from here and go racing," said
Bassett in victory lane after the event.

"It was just hard racing. What happened in turn one? I'm really not sure to
be honest with you," the driver of the No. 04 Ford added. "But we came out
on top, and I praise God for it because He's the one that let it happen
for
this Butler Trailer Manufacturing Ford."

Travis Swaim saw the outcome of the final lap tangle very differently.
Swaim led 148 of 150 laps en route to a second place finish.

"It doesn't take a driver to just drive into someone at the end. I hope
they've got more than one racecar, because I'll probably just take him out
in practice next week," Swaim said calmly on the front straightaway after
the event. "This was a really good car. The guys did a great job preparing
the Rack Room Shoes Ford for me and we had a great week. To have a
green-white-checker and have them catch you under caution, there's nothing
you can do about it except just dig down deep."

Garrett Campbell won the event preceding Anderson and was sitting in third
when Swaim and Bassett made contact on the final lap. Despite the open
door, a blocked racetrack forced the driver of the No. 12 to crack the
throttle and he had to settle for a third place finish.

"It wasn't a bad race for us, we were just trying to conserve tires there
for most of the race. I thought we had a shot at it but I made the wrong
call on the setup and I'm so upset with myself right now. We don't really
have any engineers or even a crew chief on my team, so I'll keep things
from tonight in my head as a learning experience and we'll go get them
next
weekend at Hickory," said Campbell after the event.

Campbell was awarded the FLUIDYNE Cool Under Pressure Award for maining
his calm during this action packed night, Bassett was awarded the Pigwire
Electrifying Move of the Race and he also received the Driven Fastest Lap
of the Race Award. Swaim would come home with the ARbodies Hard Luck
Award and the Tilton Most Laps Lead Award to add to his Sunoco Pole Award.
Once again Charlie Long received the Comp Cams Engine Builder of the Race
Award for building the powerhouse under the hood of the Bassett machine.

The next UARA-STARS event will be the Banjo Matthews Memorial this
Saturday, June 22, at the Hickory Motor Speedway. Joining the UARA-STARS
Late Model Stock Tour will be the Southeast Super Trucks, the Carolina
Vintage Cars and the Allison Legacy Series. Spectator gates open at 4:30,
