Inside Line Promotions – LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (April 5, 2017) – Brandon Hanks scored his first top-10 finish of the season last Saturday at I-30 Speedway during an ASCS Mid-South Region and ASCS Red River Region co-sanctioned event.
The night began with Hanks starting at the back of a heat race following a high pill draw.
“It was a little frustrating drawing pretty high,” he said. “Early in the night the track is usually pretty hooked up. We still managed to pass three cars there.”
Hanks advanced to fifth place, which lined him up on the pole of a B Main. He won that to transfer into the 15th starting position for the 25-lap main event.
“I felt good going into the A Main,” he said. “We didn’t set the world on fire, but we did alright. We’re heading in the right direction. It was a solid night. Of course I wanted more out of it, but we’ll take the momentum of a top 10 and keep it going.”
Hanks maneuvered to a ninth-place result.
“This was the first race this season where we’ve been able to move forward every time we hit the track,” he said. “We were able to capitalize every time we went out. We passed a few cars in the main event. The car wasn’t perfect, but we made some good gains.”
Hanks will return to action this Friday and Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track in Fort Worth, Texas, for the Tony Stewart presents the Texas Sprint Car Nationals with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
“I look forward to going to that track because it’s a really nice facility and one of my favorite tracks,” he said. “We’ve run well there and for it to be on NASCAR weekend is even cooler. There will be a lot of people there and some big names like Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson competing. I’m excited about the weekend and I’m ready to get there.”
Hanks finished fifth at the track last season during his most recent visit.
