Bryan Hulbert – SAPULPA, Okla. (May 23, 2018) Making laps at Creek County Speedway with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products this past weekend, Wayne Johnson’s night ended with his 12th top-five finish of the 2018 season.
Winning Friday's opening Heat Race, Wayne made the redraw where he drew the sixth starting spot.
Quick to the front, the wily veteran duked it out with Matt Covington and Sam Hafertepe, Jr. for a spot on the podium for some time, but would end up settling for the fourth spot at the checkered flag.
“We were good all night. I got under Covington for second, and we were both under Sam for the lead at one point then Matt and I got to sliding each other and that let Sam get away. Just got out of my rhythm and after that, I kind of settled in and figured third was as good as I was going to get. I wasn’t getting pressured and was to soft off of turn-four coming to the checkered and let Blake get me on the outside. Just goes to show, never let up.”
Taking the Outlaw Wings No. 2c to Lawton Speedway the following night, the team made the decision to leave early in concern of safety with the incoming weather. With the very real threat of severe weather and no way to pull the rig out if the bottom did drop out, the team opted to conserve equipment and return during Speedweek.
Looking to this coming weekend, Wayne has several choices of racing venues but is watching the forecast to see where the team will land.
