Bryan Hulbert – SOMERTON, Ariz. (November 20, 2021) Collecting his second win of the weekend, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. made it a sweep of the Keith Bryan Memorial at Cocopah Speedway with the ASCS Southwest Region.
Non-stop for 25 laps, Sam took the green from the right of the second row. Third the opening eight rotations, traffic was in play quickly, with the No. 15h taking second away from J.J. Hickle on Lap 9. Chasing the Verville No. 01 driven by Canada’s Skylar Gee, the pair were nearly inseparable as they worked the back of the field.
Finding grip through the middle of the first and second turn on Lap 18, Hafertepe proceeded to gap the field by 1.259-seconds. Justin Sanders worked to second on the closing lap, moving Skylar Gee to the show position. J.J. Hickle placed fourth with Robbie Price fifth.
Colton Hardy was sixth, followed by Cam Smith, Logan Forler, Colby Thornhill, and Kelly Miller.
The season's final two races are Friday, November 26, and Saturday, November 27, at Arizona Speedway. The sixth annual Copper Classic will also feature the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series. Details on format and payout will be released this week.
The 2021 season marks the 30th year of competition for the American Sprint Car Series. Spearheaded by the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, the ASCS Nation includes 11 regional tours encompassing both wing and non-wing competition.
