Terry Mattox – SAPULPA, Okla. (July 11th, 2013) – This Friday night the Open Wheel Sprint Cars of the ASCS Sooner Region and the mighty Micro Sprints of the National Open Wheel 600 Series return to Creek County Speedway for yet another “Open Wheel Mayhem” Friday night affair.

The American Bank of Okla. Sooner Region has visited the Creek County Speedway twice prior to this Friday’s affair.

The second appearance by the American Bank of Okla. Sooner Region was in conjunction with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real “Sizzlin’ Summer Speedweek” back on June 20th, as Jeff Swindell took the win.
With the National Tour in the Northwest, chances are high to see a Sooner Region regular in victory lane, but with the Smiley’s Racing Products Lone Star Region off that night before the two regions collide at Lawton Speedway on Saturday, could see a Lone Star invader victorious at “The Creek.”
