Landon Britt Lands First
ASCS National Win By
Inches At Arrowhead
Speedway!
Bryan Hulbert
COLCORD, Okla.
(September 1, 2023)
Holding on
through late-race
restarts and a drag race
to the finish on Friday
night, the hard work
finally paid off for
Landon Britt, who
captured his first
career victory with the
American Sprint Car
Series presented by
RacinDirt.com at
Arrowhead Speedway by
0.021-seconds.
That last lap was
killer. No tires left, I
had no grip coming out
of the corner, and I was
headed right for that
wall, but I was going to
hit it to win it,
chuckled Britt, who did
tap the wall coming to
the checkered flag.
The sixth driver from
Memphis, Tenn., to top
an ASCS National event,
Landon is the 170th
different winner since
1993 and the 14th one to
top an event in 2023.
The tours first visit
to the newly built
one-third-mile oval, the
event was the 1,100th
for the series.
Making the win even
better for Britt is
doing so with his
family, It means a lot.
My parents are the ones
who really support this
deal for me, and my Mom
doesnt get to come out
to a lot of these, but
she was able to come to
this one and see a win.
Taking the green third,
that is where Landon
spent most of the race.
Chasing Jason Martin for
second, the track began
cleaning off in the last
half of the event.
Making passing more
challenging as the race
progressed, Landon put
his rear tires to work
to complete the pass for
second on Lap 26.
Getting by Sean
McClelland, who took
over from Alex Sewell
after the opening
revolution, two laps
later, the top five
worked past the
start-finish line before
the caution flew to
complete the lap.
Securing the lead for
Britt, the restart saw
Sean try and time the
cone but advanced past
the No. 10 too soon.
Putting McClelland back
two spots for the
infraction, Jason Martin
moved back to second and
was in hot pursuit.
Back-to-back cautions
before finally going
green, the pair raced
off the final turn with
Landon pushing out the
line and towards the
wall. Hitting the low
line and aiming at the
top spot, the pair
hammered down to the
finish, with Britt
holding on for the win
over Jason.
Sean McClelland made up
one spot to finish
third, with Alex Sewell
fourth. Rolling up from
14th, Howard Moore
completed the top five.
Chris Morgan crossed
sixth, followed by KSE
Hard Charger, Kyler
Johnson, who advanced 11
positions to seventh.
Jodon Mallett, Tyler
Thomas, and Brandon
Anderson made up the top
ten.
Fridays field included
21 drivers, with Sean
McClelland establishing
the ASCS Track Record at
12.500-seconds during
The Drivers Project
Qualifying. AR Dyno
Specialty Heat Race wins
went to Jeffrey Newell,

Britt.
