ASCS Sizzlin' Summer Speedweek Continues Tuesday At Devil's Bowl Speedway

 

TULSA, Okla. (June 12, 2017) With the first two nights of the 2017 ASCS Sizzlin' Summer Speedweek and Bob Westphal Memorial Cup in the books, the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network returns to action on Tuesday, June 13 at the Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas for the 44th Devil's Bowl Summer Nationals.

 

The 19th Speedweek event at the Devil's Bowl Speedway since 1994, the 2016 showdown fell to rain. In all, 10 drivers have Speedweek wins at the Devil's Bowl with Gary Wright taking the most wins at six.
Wayne Johnson with four wins is the only other multi time race winner during Speedweek at the Devil's Bowl, and the most recent in 2015. Of drivers currently running full-time with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour, Seth Bergman and Johnny Herrera have also scored Speedweek wins at the famed half-mile.

 

With two different winners added to the season through Lubbock and Amarillo, the most consistent of all has been Johnny Herrera who leads the way in Speedweek standings. Currently runner-up in the overall National Tour, Herrera continues to chase Sam Hafertepe, Jr. who saw his advantage drop from 141 to 63 points over the No. 45x.

 

Returning to a track that Sam has stated more than once as his favorite, the Hwy. 79 Collision No. 15h is undefeated so far this season in three ASCS sanctioned events at the Devil's Bowl. With his eye on the big prize, Hafertepe will look to put a pair of DNF finishes behind him as Tuesday's trip to the Mesquite, Texas oval kicks off five consecutive nights through Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.

 

Moving within 106 markers, Wayne Johnson holds third in tour standings and has also been a dominate force at the Devil's Bowl over his career as well as Matt Covington who trails the point's lead in fourth. Aaron Reutzel holds fifth with Seth Bergman, Josh Baughman, Blake Hahn, Justin Henderson, and Dustin Morgan making up the top-ten in tour standings.

 

Devil's Bowl Speedway has hosted the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network 88 times since 1994 with Sam Hafertepe, Jr. knocking down a pair of wins in the series last visit during the 2017 Spring Nationals.

 

Tuesday, June 13 will get underway at 8:00 P.M. (CDT) and includes USRA Modifieds and USA Limited Modifieds. The track is located at 1711 Lawson Rd in Mesquite, Texas. For more information on the Devil's Bowl Speedway, call (972) 222-2421 or log onto http://www.devilsbowl.com.
