WICHITA FALLS, Texas (July 7, 2017) – A last minute decision to roll to Wichita Falls, Texas to take on the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products at Wichita Speedway was a good one for John Carney II, who picked up Friday’s $2,000 top prize in the Steward Builders No. 224.
Giving chase to Fred Mattox the first three laps, Carney moved to the top spot on the fourth revolution and was not challenged after that.
From fifth, Andrew Deal crossed second with Brandon Hanks on the final podium step. Alex Sewell and Mike Goodman made up the top five. Fred Mattox would eventually fall back to finish sixth with Brandon Long, Michael Day, Tucker Doughty, and Gary Floyd rounding out the top-ten.
The American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products races again on Satuday, July 8 at Superbowl Speedway in Greenville, Texas.
