Lawton and Caney Valley
Speedway On Deck For The
American Sprint Car
Series!
Bryan Hulbert –
DRUMRIGHT, Okla. (June
20, 2023) On
track again this
Thursday, June 22, at
Lawton Speedway, and
Saturday, June 24, at
Caney Valley Speedway,
the American Sprint Car
Series will race for
added money.
Upping the bottom of the
purse Thursday to $500
to start the A-Feature
at Lawton Speedway, the
winner will walk away
with $4,000. Debuting a
new higher purse
Saturday at Caney Valley
Speedway, the winner’s
share has been moved to
$5,000 with money added
throughout the A-Feature
payout, including start
money upped to $500.
The $5,000 to win, $500
to start payout at Caney
is the first of several
events that will see the
higher payout in 2023.
Eighteen previous visits
to Lawton Speedway with
11 different winners,
the series has been
absent from the
quarter-mile-oval since
2019 when Sam Hafertepe,
Jr. captured his third
career victory at the
Edwards family-owned
facility. Tying Wayne
Johnson with a trio of
wins, only Gary Wright
has more with four trips
to Victory Lane.
Thursday, June 22, at
Lawton Speedway, opens
at 4:00 P.M. for teams
to park and 5:00 P.M.
for the grandstands. Hot
Laps begin at 7:00 P.M.
with racing at 7:47 P.M.
(CDT). Tickets are $20
for adults, $15 for
seniors (60+), military
(with ID), $10 for youth
(6-11), and free for
kids five and under.
Pits are $40.
Lawton Speedway is
located at 3501 SW
Sheridan in Lawton,
Okla. More information,
directions, and updates
on Lawton Speedway can
be found online at http://www.lawtonspeedway.com or
by calling (580)
355-6417.
A late addition to the
2023 lineup, the
Saturday swing was
originally slated for
Texas; however, the show
was forced to be
relocated to Caney
Valley Speedway, and
with it, a higher
payout.
A track that spent a
long time off the
National Tour schedule,
the series hit the
Kansas oval for the
first time in 1993, with
Terry Gray taking the
win, but did not return
until 2020 with Sam
Hafertepe, Jr. in
Victory Lane. Dylan
Westbrook took the next
two checkered flags,
with Seth Bergman the
most recent in
September, 2022.
Saturday, June 24, opens
at 4:00 P.M. for the
pits and 5:00 P.M. for
the grandstands. Hot
Laps begins at 7:00
P.M., with racing at
8:00 P.M. (CDT). Tickets
are $20 for adults, $15
for seniors, $5 for
youth (6-12), and free
for kids five and under.
Pits are $35.
Caney Valley Speedway is
located just north of
Caney, Kan., at 1324
County Road 1600.
