Bryan Hulbert - TOPEKA, Kan. (August 24, 2019) Taking on the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley's Racing Products and the Racinboys.com ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps on Saturday night, Oklahoma's Zach Chappell led start to finish for his 10th overall ASCS Regional victory.

The fifth time the former ASCS National and OCRS World Champion has topped the ASCS Sooner Region, the race began from the right of the front row with Chappell winning the drag race into turn one over Randy Martin. Pulling to a comfortable margin over the race for the runner-up spot, that gap disappeared quickly as the leaders found the back of the field.

From 2.5 seconds to just over two-tenths on Lap 10, Randy brought company to the battle with his son, Evan Martin, in the mix. Taking second with a low line pass on Lap 11, the pair swapped the position twice more on Laps 13 and 14 with Evan holding second.

Caution on Lap 15 for Jeremy Campbell, the restart was short-lived with the red lights coming on a lap later for Zach Blurton, who had restarted fifth. Zach was unharmed.

Taking advantage of the clean air, Chappell pulled away on the restart. Keeping pace ahead of the Martin duo at the wave of the white flag, the expected checkered was replaced with another stoppage as Avery Goodman and Ben Brown tangled.

To a green, white, checkered finish, Evan Martin gave it his all, but could not get the run as Zach Chappell crossed 0.932 seconds ahead of the Heidbreder Foundation No. 4. Taking third on the final restart, Warrior Region point's leader Miles Paulus advanced to the final podium step after starting 14th. Randy Martin settled for fourth with Lance Norick in fifth.

Nicholas Howard moved up one to sixth with Alex Sewell advancing 10 positions to seventh. Jered Sewell in eighth had Mike Goodman in tow, who tore through the field from 22nd. Chris Morgan rounded out the top ten.
