Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (April 30, 2018) A regional showdown is on the horizon as the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products, and Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps heads for Heartland Motorsports Park on Friday, May 4 and Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, May 5.

Headlining Heartland Motorsports Park, located adjacent to the Drag Strip at the multi-use facility, Friday’s visit is the first of two on the season. In the 2017 matchup between the two ASCS Regional Tours, Oklahoma’s Alex Sewell picked up the win over a field of 21 drivers. Friday pays $2,000 to win, $300 to start.
