TEXARKANA, Ark. (June 13, 2022) Returning to a pair of Mid-South ovals this weekend, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network heads to Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Ark. on Friday, June 17, and Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La. on Saturday, June 18.
Going into the weekend double, Wayne Johnson leads the standings by 31 points. A banner weekend in the tour’s last outing that included his first win of the season with the National Tour at Lake Ozark Speedway, Dylan Westbrook moved the second with Blake Hahn falling to third after suffering a failed rear-end at Thunderbird Speedway. Fourth is currently held by Jason Martin, with Garet Williamson fifth, only 78 points out of the lead.
Matt Covington, who suffered a massive crash at Thunderbird, holds sixth, followed by Brandon Anderson in seventh. Tim Crawley, eighth, is trailed by Ryan Timms and Landon Britt to complete the top ten.
Returning for the first in 13 years, Texarkana 67 Speedway hosted the National Tour on ten occasions between 1998 and 2009. During that time, six drivers went to Victory Lane. Incidentally, this Friday’s return is 24-years exactly since the tour first visited the Arkansas quarter-mile.
