GAFFNEY, S.C. - October 4, 2014 - (J. Kloosterman photo) Morgan Turpen was not going to be denied during Saturday night’s United Sprint Car Series presented by K&N Filters and the URC Rislone Sprint Series North/South Shootout at Cherokee Speedway. Turpen, from Cordova, Tennessee, took the lead from 2012 URC champion Robbie Stillwaggon for the final time on lap 20 of the 30-lap North/South Shootout finale A-main Saturday and weathered four late-race cautions and subsequent restarts to bolt away to the biggest victory of her career in a race that was ultimately a war of attrition at Cherokee. The win was Turpen’s sixth career USCS feature triumph and her second of the season, as well as her first-career URC victory.

“Wow,” a shocked Turpen said with a smile in www.rockauto.com USCS Victory Lane. “I didn’t expect to be standing here tonight. As the race wore on, we just kept getting better while the #89 (Robbie Stillwaggon) kept getting worse. We needed this bad, the team did, and I did too. I’m so proud and so thankful for this effort tonight.”
