Tri-City Speedway and I-30 Speedway Next For Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series
Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (May 18, 2021) Heading into a pair of showdowns this weekend, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network will take on Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill. on Friday, May 21, and I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. on Saturday, May 22.
Joined with the Racinboys.com ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Warps on Friday night, the National Tour will face-off against the ASCS Mid-South and Lone Star Regions on Saturday night. Both nights are $3,000 to win, $400 to start.
Last, in action at Tri-City Speedway on August 27, 2010, Missouri’s Jerrod Hull picked up his second career win against the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network. The only time the series has graced three-eighths-mile oval, the tour has only three other stops in Illinois, with those coming in 1996 and 1997 at Jacksonville Speedway and Peoria Speedway.
Looking at I-30 Speedway, the series history at the Arkansas oval cannot be overstated. The site of the first ASCS event ever contested, this Saturday’s will be Race No. 79 for the National Tour at “Hammer Hill.” Including events during the 1992 season, that number jumps to 102. Racing for Autism this Saturday night, local businesses, fans, and teams have already raised over $6,000 for the Arkansas Autism Society to help purchase headphones and sensory bags. This has been done through the work of Lora Crawley. People wanting to contribute can do so at the event or by contacting Lora on her Facebook page.
Going into the weekend matchup, Blake Hahn enters with the National Tour point's lead. The third driver this year to lead the way, Hahn is pursued by Matt Covington and JJ Hickle, the two other drivers who have held the top spot this year. The trio is separated by only 22-points. Runner-up at Volunteer Speedway, Seth Bergman has moved into fourth with Dylan Westbrook moving back to fifth after the engine expired this past weekend. Scott Bogucki holds sixth with Colby Thornhill seventh. Ryan Bickett, Travis Reber, and Alex Hill complete the top ten.
Friday, May 21 at Tri-City Speedway opens at 3:00 P.M. with racing at 7:15 P.M. (CDT). The night’s card includes UMP Modifieds, racing for a $2,000 top prize, and B-Mods, with a $1,000 winner’s check. The draw for ASCS teams is from 5:00 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., with the Driver’s Meeting taking place five minutes after the draw. Admission is $25 for adults with kids 12 and under admitted into the Grandstands for free.
