Creek County Speedway
Hafertepe, York, and Smith Put On A Show At Creek County Speedway!
Bryan Hulbert – SAPULPA, Okla. (May 18, 2018) In action with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products, along with the USAC Wingless Sprints of Oklahoma and Dwarf Cars, fans were treated to a trio of fantastic A-Feature events at Creek County Speedway this past Friday night.
The first A-Feature to the track was the American Sprint Car Series Red River Region with Texas shoe, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. leading start to finish over the 22 car field.
Taking off from the front row with the No. 15d of Andrew Deal, it was the No. 15h of Sam Hafertepe, Jr. who took off with the lead and never looked back with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products.
Getting laps at the Oklahoma quarter-mile in preparation for a Speedweek return on Thursday, June 14 with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com, Hafertepe was chased to the line by Matt Covington who trailed by 2.128 seconds.
Struggling with mechanical issues in his Heat Race, Blake Hahn was on a mission when the green flag dropped for the 25 lap affair, cutting a path from 16th to third with Wayne Johnson and Tyler Thomas rounding out the top-five.
Side by side for almost half the race in the Dwarf Car A-Feature, the 15 laps came down to the final few feet as Paul York won by mere inches at the checkered flag over Robbie Russell. Third went to Chandler Foltz, who likewise had a fierce door to door battle for the spot with Larry Pense. The top five rounded out with Chuck Briggs.
Taking the green with 23 cars in the field, Oklahoma’s Danny Smith was the definition of patience as the race for the lead was two and three wide at times through traffic. Even with a late race caution, the challenge for the lead never stopped as Kyle Clark worked every inch, but the No. 9$ could not get past Smith.
Andrew Deal from 15th came up to finish third with Brett Wilson fourth. Having to dig from deep in the field again, Blake Hahn ran from 14th to fifth.
