SAPULPA, Okla. (April 30, 2021) – Rolling into Victory Lane for the first time with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products, Tyler Thomas held off the charge of Alex Sewell in the closing laps to become the 57th different winner in ASCS competition at Creek County Speedway.
Leading start to finish, the closing laps presented a challenging run through traffic.
Having to use the slower cars a picks along the bottom of the quarter-mile oval, Thomas was stalked through the final laps by Sewell. Making one final run on the closing lap, the No. 8 came up 0.316-seconds shy of the win. Kyle Clark made it to the final podium step with five laps to go, with Jeremy Campbell taking fourth. Running third the majority of the race, Ryan Timms slipped to fifth.
Noah Harris crossed sixth with Steven Shebester seventh. Advancing out of a B-Feature, Zach Chappell rolled from 17th eighth. Andrew Deal was ninth, with Whit Gastineau making up the top ten.
The next event for the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products will be a two-night affair at Longdale Speedway on Friday, May 14, and Saturday, May 15.
