SAPULPA, OK (Oct. 18, 2024) – The American Sprint Car Series National Tour’s historic 2024 season will conclude with four races in three days in Oklahoma to crown a champion.
First, the Series will return to Tulsa Speedway for a double Feature day on Thursday, Nov. 14, and then end the season at Creek County Speedway, Friday-Saturday, Nov. 15-16, for the two-day Fuzzy’s Fall Fling – named in memory of Wokeeta “Fuzzy” Hahn, the late wife of ASCS founder Emmett Hahn.
Thursday’s event at Tulsa will see the ASCS National Tour, and ASCS Sooner Region, run two Features in one day. They’ll finish the remaining portion of the Dirt Down in T-Town event, which was postponed by weather in July. Drivers will complete the Dash and $6,000-to-win Feature. Then, they go into the originally scheduled program for the day, highlighted by the night’s $4,000-to-win/$400-to-start race.
Teams will travel 20 minutes south to Sapulpa, OK the next day to end the season at Creek County Speedway. It’ll conclude a historic year for the ASCS National Tour, which was acquired by World Racing Group in March to help grow and strengthen the series.
Seth Bergman and Sam Hafertepe Jr. will enter as the contenders for the 2024 title, $40,000 championship check and the new Emmett Hahn Championship Trophy.

Bergman is on the hunt for his first Series title, while Hafertepe will try to extend his legacy to six ASCS National Tour championships.
Hafertepe won the National Tour events at Tulsa and Creek County earlier this year. Bergman won an ASCS Sooner Region race at Creek County in March.
Friday’s Feature will pay $4,000 to win, while Saturday’s grand finale will pay $10,000 to win.
While Bergman and Hafertepe battle for the title, several other Oklahoma natives will be eyeing a home state win before the end of the season. Matt Covington, of Glenpool, OK, is still searching for this first National Tour win of the season (as of mid-October). Hank Davis, of Sand Springs, OK, is on his way to being the 2024 National Tour Rookie of the Year, currently sitting fourth in points with three wins this year behind the wheel of the TwoC Racing No. 2C. And Terry Easum, of Broken Arrow, OK, started the year strong, earning his first career National Tour win in May, but has yet to find the top five since. He’ll be poised to change that during his end-of-year homecoming.
The Series banquet will be held on Sunday, Nov. 17, in Tulsa – handing out over $150,000 to the top 10 drivers in Series points. More details on the ceremony will be available soon.
