SAPULPA, Okla. (May 26, 2018) – Round seven on the 2018 season at Creek County Speedway, the fifth annual Randy Wheeler Memorial brought a field of 74 cars to the Oklahoma quarter-mile with the Fast Five Weekly Series on tap.

With room to run, none of the five A-Features contested were won from the front row as Danny Smith picked up his second Champ Sprint win of the season. Justin Cartwright ended the streak of wins by Chad Davis with his win in the Modifieds while Sam Champlain went back-to-back in Dwarf competition.

Racing to his first win of 2018, Jimmy Owen picked up the Factory Stock A-Feature with Kevin McSperitt working his steak of Mini Stock wins to three.

In Champ Sprint competition, Oklahoma’s Danny Smith brought a stripped-down setup of rig and tools to Creek County Speedway and changed from seventh to win. Zach Alley followed Smith’s lead from eighth to second with Travis Ashwood third. Jimmy Taylor and Brett Wilson made the top-five.

Justin Cartwright’s first win of the season at Creek County Speedway, the Sperry, Okla. racer advanced from fifth to claim the top spot. Matt French followed from eighth with James Esmond third. Colin Wiseley crossed fourth with 10th starting Joshua Tyre making it to fifth.

Sam Champlain’s second win in as many starts in Dwarf competition, the No. 34 had to beat Paul York to get the job done. Mike Howard from 11th came up to third with Rex Johnson and Robert Watson in fifth. In Factory Stocks, Jimmy Owen finally broke into Victory Lane. Austin McSperitt, Bobby Wolfe, Tommy Romine, and Calvin Lewis all finished in the top-five.

Keeping his momentum high in Mini Stock competition, Kevin McSperitt put his No. 88 back on the front stretch after the races. Beating out Michael Longacre and Leroy Burger, the top-five rounded out with Justin Melton and Kenny Grumadas.
