Mickey Walker Classic
Among Updates To 2023
ASCS National Schedule
Bryan Hulbert –
DRUMRIGHT, Okla. (April
24, 2023) -
Several events have been
updated on the 2023
American Sprint Car
Series National Tour
lineup.
Among those is the Micky
Walker Classic on
Friday, June 2, and
Saturday, June 3. The
only time in 2023 Outlaw
Motor Speedway will see
action, the
three-eighths-mile oval
located just south of
Muskogee will take the
Friday portion, with
Saturday’s action going
to Caney Valley Speedway
in Caney, Kan. Both
nights pay $4,222 to
win, $400 to start.
Terry Mattox is
promoting both nights.
“Mickey was my best
friend, and being able
to race in his honor
means a lot to his
family and me. Kind of a
wrench in the mix having
to move the race, but
thankfully we got
something figured out
this year. I understand
Creek needs to fulfill
their contract in
rescheduling their
Monster Truck show to
that date. It happens,
but the Mickey Walker
Classic will be back at
his home track next
year,” stated Terry.
Despite being shuttered,
the Outlaw Motor
Speedway owners have
continued maintaining
the track. Putting the
facility in near
race-ready condition,
there is a small amount
of tidying up that needs
to be done.
“I was shocked when I
saw the track graded,
watered, and otherwise
ready to go. Outside of
some mowing and general
cleanup, they’ve kept
the facility in working
order, so we will go for
it and bring racing to
Outlaw at least once in
2023.”
Able to reschedule a
date at Creek County
Speedway this season,
the tour will invade on
Thursday, June 15, for a
three-night stretch that
includes the series
return to Humboldt
Speedway on Friday, June
16, and 81 Speedway on
Saturday, June 17. Each
night will pay $4,000 to
win, $400 to start.
The Gary Scott Memorial
at Moberly Motorsports
Park is next on the 2023
lineup. Unfortunately,
the event will now be a
Saturday-only affair.
Terry Mattox is
currently talking to
another Missouri oval to
take the series to on
Friday, May 12. That
information will be
released once finalized.
Terry is also working on
filling in some open
dates to make up for
events lost at the start
of the 2023 season to
weather.
A reminder that
single-night shows in
2023 have been raised to
$4,000 to win, $400 to
start. The only time a
show is $3,000 to win is
a preliminary night on a
multi-day event at the
same track.
The 2023 season will
mark the 32nd year of
competition for the
American Sprint Car
Series. Spearheaded by
the American Sprint Car
Series National Tour,
the ASCS Nation includes
Regional Tours that
encompass both wing and
non-wing competition.
When making it to the
track is not an option,
the series can be found
on http://www.floracing.com,
and is included in the
platform’s $150 a year
subscription plan.
