(April 20, 2019) Rolling into Tri-State Speedway with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products and the Stealth Recovery ASCS Mid-South Region on Saturday, Matt Covington parked the T&L Foundry/Shark Racing Engines No. 95 in Victory Lane.
Marking the 24th time the Glenpool, Okla. driver has topped an ASCS Regional event, the night’s 25-lap affair saw Covington trading the top-stop numerous times with Blake Hahn.
