LAWTON, Okla. (June 10, 2023) – After a slow start to the season Alex Sewell is making up for lost time with his second consecutive AmeriFlex Hose & Accessories OCRS Sprint Car victory Saturday at Lawton Speedway.
The first victory came May 27 at Salina Highbanks Speedway. Saturday Sewell drove past early leader Zach Chappell on lap 4 and went the distance to post his 15th OCRS career victory. Chappell held on to second, Danny Wood advanced from 10th starting to finish third, Tanner Conn was fourth and Fred Mattox raced into fifth.
Beau Gastineau, who has not raced in several years, started 20th and finished 9th to earn the D&G Contracting Hard Charger award.
A three-race slate of races this coming week will see the OCRS visit two tracks for the first time. Thursday Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri will host the OCRS in a co-sanctioned event with POWRi. Friday racing continues at I-70 Speedway followed by a return to Lake Ozark Speedway on Saturday.
