TULSA, Okla. (June 8, 2016) Going into the month of June, the American Sprint Car Series is in full swing with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network and all ASCS Regions seeing competition.
While Mother Nature has had her way with 14 dates falling to rain, an additional night was also called off due to the track closing down. With that said, that bring us to 39 nights of racing have been contested. With co-sanctioned races, that accounts for 50 ASCS sanctioned events completed with 25 different race night winners out a total of 269 drivers taking part in at least one ASCS sanctioned night of racing thus far.
Three drivers are tied at the top of the win chart so far this year with Brandon Hanks, Aaron Reutzel, and John Carney II each finding Victory Lane on three occasions.
