Jake Bubak Leads All
With The American Sprint
Car Series At WaKeeney
Speedway
Bryan Hulbert
WAKEENEY, Kan. (July 1,
2023) A
lifetime of laps growing
up racing at WaKeeney
Speedway continues to
pay off for Jake Bubak,
who, for the second year
in a row, rolled into
Victory Lane with the
American Sprint Car
Series presented by
RacinDirt.com.
We definitely made up
for last night, stated
Bubak, who suffered a
DNF Friday. I have to
thank Patrick so much.
He and I are gelling
right now, and these
engines run
unbelievably. Very
thankful to him and his
family for bringing me
out here.
A $5,000 payday for the
Colorado shoe, Bubak
raced wheel-to-wheel
with Blake Hahn through
the opening lap. Able to
jump ahead of the
DriveWFX.com No. 52, the
pair were quick into
traffic numerous times.
Allowing Hahn to close
and look for room to
advance on the 360 Civil
No. 27b, the cautions
would keep bringing the
leaders back into clean
air, but not without a
few close calls.
Able to avoid disaster
through the back
markers, the final
restart on Lap 19 saw
Bubak dart away by
0.906-seconds. Blake
Hahn in second, was
followed by Jason
Martin, Oklahomas Whit
Gastineau fourth was
followed by Brandon
Anderson.
Going after the No. 55b
numerous times, Matt
Covington would have to
settle for sixth, with
Zach Blurton seventh.
Jordon Mallett, Jeremy
Huish, and Howard Moore
completed the top ten.
The 25-car field was
topped in Drivers
Project Qualifying by
Blake Hahn, who topped
his track record of
14.700-seconds with a
14.673-second lap. Three
AR Dyno Specialty Heat
Races were won by Chris
Morgan, Brandon
Anderson, and Whit
Gastineau.
The next event for the
American Sprint Car
Series presented by
RacinDirt.com is the
Steve King Memorial at
Dodge City Raceway Park
in Dodge City, Kan. on
Friday, July 7 ($3,000
to win, $400 to start),
and Saturday, July 8
($5,088 to win, $500 to
start).
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,
