Creek and Lawton Speedway on ASCS Red River Radar This Weekend

TULSA, Okla. (May 17, 2017) Back to the “Sooner State” for the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products for a weekend double with races at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa on Friday, May 19 and Lawton Speedway on Saturday, May 20.

Following Friday’s events at Humboldt Speedway, the series has a new point’s leader as Oklahoma’s Jared Sewell now sits atop the standings by 25 markers. Looking for his first win of the season, Sewell leads Kade Morton, who topped the series in 2015, with Brandon Hanks, Alex Sewell, and Blake Hahn making the series top-five.

The season’s first trip to Creek County Speedway, the Friday showdown will also feature Non-Wing Champ Sprints and Dwarf Cars. In the Red River Region’s last stand-alone visit to the Sapulpa quarter-mile on July 7, 2016, the night ended with a first-time winner as Drumright’s Fred Mattox led start to finish with Layne Himebaugh and Alex Sewell making up the podium over the night’s 22 car field.
The first of two dates on the 2017 calendar at the Lawton Speedway, it was Brandon Hanks who ruled over the red clay quarter-mile on July 9, 2016, over John Carney II and Chance Morton. The Saturday showdown is a warm up for several teams with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network teams up with the Red River Region during Speedweek on Wednesday, June 14.

On the season, four drivers have parked in Victory Lane in five nights of competition. Blake Hahn is the most recent winner with his first of the season at Humboldt Speedway this past Friday night. Hahn is among those scheduled to be in competition this weekend.
