Inside Line Promotions – CORLEY, Texas (Oct. 11, 2016) – Brandon Hanks is hopeful this weekend goes a little smoother than last.
Hanks will head to Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, to tackle the Winter Nationals with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour this Friday and Saturday. The races are co-sanctioned with the ASCS Red River Region, which Hanks leads the championship standings in by 147 points with only four races remaining.
“Hopefully we can put together a couple of consistent nights and be toward the front when the checkered flag waves,” he said. “We’ve had some good runs at Devil’s Bowl, but it’s a tricky track that you can get behind at really quickly so we’ll need to be on top of our game all weekend.”
Hanks is coming off a disappointing finish last Saturday at Timberline Speedway, which hosted an ASCS Red River Region event.
“We tried some things to start out and it didn’t work,” he said. “We got away from it again for the feature and went back to a normal thing.”
Hanks, who finished fifth in a heat race after starting on the outside of the second row, lined up 10th for the main event.
“The track was one lane and rubber around the bottom,” he said. “We just sat there and rode. We got to seventh or eighth for a little while. Then I had a right rear tire go flat and I had to pull off. I didn’t get any courtesy laps because I think it was after the halfway point and I ended up finishing 12th so it was a bummer.”
Hanks was credited with a 12th-place result.
