Bryan Hulbert – POCOLA, Okla. (August 27, 2022) Getting to the lead at the start and never looking back, Glenpool’s Brandon Anderson jetted to his fifth career victory with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products, and first with the ASCS Mid-South Region at Tri-State Speedway.
A second chance at the start, the first saw Gunner Ramey to the point, but the redo was all Brandon Anderson. Pulling away considerably before the race’s first caution, any time the field was forced to pass between the cone and the wall saw the All-Pro Auto Reconditioning No. 55b pull away.
One final caution on Lap 14, Anderson found traffic in a hurry. Slowed slightly, the break in momentum allowed Gunner Ramey to pull a second off the leader’s advantage but was quickly regained. Into the final laps, Anderson continued his trek as the podium began changing hands.
Kyle Clark to second on Lap 22; he would remain there until the checkered flag. Trailing by 4.055-seconds at the finish, Clark secured the spot with time to spare, but the race for third came down to the final few feet when Chance Morton squeezed by Gunner Ramey by 0.029-seconds. Up three spots, Danny Jennings completed the top five.
Michael Day was sixth, followed by Alex Sewell from 12th. Landon Britt, Zach Chappell, and Sean McClelland made the top ten.
