First time proves successful for Davis at Creek County Speedway in OCRS competition
John Rittenoure - KELLYVILLE, Okla. (October 1, 2022) - Hank Davis has a habit of winning where ever he shows up with his champ sprint car. Running primarily the local tracks of Creek County Speedway and Tulsa Speedway, Davis has won 9 of 14 feature events he has started.
Saturday Davis entered his first AmeriFlex / OCRS IMCA Sprint Car event and raced to another victory at Creek County Speedway.
Davis, who started inside second row in the 30-lapper, was able to take over the lead at the half-way point and race to victory by a 2.734 second margin over 5th starting Casey Wills. Terry Easum chased Wills to a third place finish, Noah Harris earned D&G Contracting Hard Charger honors coming from 15th starting to finish 4th after winning the B main, and Kyle Clark came from 10th to finish 5th.
With three races remaining Blake Edwards saw his points lead shrink after failing to make the A-Feature with his 9th place B-Feature finish. Rees Moran trails Edwards by just two points entering next weekends events at Caney Valley Speedway.
