CANEY, Kans. (September 9, 2023) – Alex Sewell has run a hit and miss schedule with the AmeriFlex Hose & Accessories OCRS Sprint Cars this season, but when he shows it is not unusual to find him in the winners circle.
Saturday Sewell showed up at Caney Valley Speedway and came away with his third victory of the season in eight shows.
Sewell jumped into the early lead on the Caney quarter-mile and went the distance for his 17th career victory. Johnny Kent gave chase but finished 0.958 seconds behind Sewell in second. Zach Chappell, who won with OCRS at Caney on July 29, was third followed by Fred Mattox and Casey Wills rounding out the top five respectively.
The next event on the schedule is the $3,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start AmeriFlex Challenge VIII at Salina Highbanks Speedway on September 30.
