Among the dates listed, combined events with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region and Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region will dot the map with races at the Edwards family owned Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, TX and Lawton Speedway in Lawton, OK. Also sharing a co-sanctioned regional date will be the Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Waco.
