Lakeside and Lake Ozark
Speedway Headline
Memorial Day Weekend For
The American Sprint Car
Series
Bryan Hulbert –
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (May
23, 2023) Going
Lake hopping this
Memorial Day Weekend,
the American Sprint Car
Series National Tour,
along with the ASCS
Warrior Region presented
by Impact Signs,
Awnings, and Wraps will
take on Lakeside
Speedway on Friday, May
26, then Lake Ozark
Speedway on Saturday,
May 27, and Sunday, May
28.
$4,000 to win, $400 to
start on Friday at
Lakeside; Saturday’s
preliminary night event
at Lake Ozark will pay
$3,000 to win, $400 to
start, with Sunday’s
purse upped to $4,000 to
win, $400 to start.
Looking to Friday night
at Lakeside Speedway,
the tour has visited the
four-tenths-mile oval
eight times since 2007
with seven different
winners. The only repeat
winner in National Tour
action is Sam Hafertepe,
Jr., with wins coming on
August 3, 2021, and
September 8, 2022. Gary
Wright won the series
debut on July 7, 2007.
Other winners include
Wayne Johnson, Brian
Brown, Aaron Reutzel,
Seth Bergman, and Blake
Hahn.
Twenty trips to Lake
Ozark Speedway since
2004, the Missouri oval
has seen 14 drivers find
their way to Victory
Lane with six repeat
winners, each claiming a
pair of wins. Shane
Stewart was the first to
do so in the series
debut during the 2004
Labor Day Weekend. The
late Jesse Hockett swept
the tour next visit,
with Jason Johnson,
Sammy Swindell, Sam
Hafertepe, Jr., and
Dylan Westbrook the
other drivers sitting at
a pair of wins each.
Blake Hahn and Derek
Hagar were the most
recent drivers to add
their names to the list
of winners during last
year’s Labor Day visit.
Rolling through Longdale
Speedway this past
weekend, the visits in
Victory Lane were split
between Jason Martin and
Seth Bergman, with the
two-night swing ending
with Bergman atop the
points by six after
Martin suffered a cut
tire Sunday, which put
him ninth in the
A-Feature. Both drivers
are off to an absolutely
roaring start to their
season; they are
currently being chased
by Landon Britt. Ripping
to his first podium
finish of the season,
Matt Covington picked up
two spots to fourth,
with Brandon Anderson
fifth.
Suffering a massive
crash racing for fifth
on Sunday, Howard Moore
will look for a rebound
as he slipped to sixth.
Landon Crawley is
seventh, followed by
Kyler Johnson, Jordon
Mallett, and Michael
Day.
