Back into the Sooner State this weekend, the American Sprint Car Series, along with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products, will take on Longdale Speedway on Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20.
Taking on the Walleye Rodeo Roundup, the event’s name comes from the Walleye Rodeo at Canton Lake. One of Oklahoma’s oldest and largest fishing tournaments, the lake is situated less than two miles from the track and is only six miles north of Canton, Okla.
Stymied by the weather as of late, the event at Longdale Speedway will give Jason Martin a shot to further his point lead. Sweeping the first two events of the 2023 season, the Kansas native is pursued by Washington’s Seth Bergman and Tennessee’s Landon Britt. Both are tied for the runner-up spot; the margin is 23 points. Howard Moore holds fourth, with Oklahoma’s Brandon Anderson completing the top five.
Friday’s preliminary event offers a $3,000 to-win, $400 to start purse, with Saturday’s finale going to $4,000 to win, $400 to start. Friday, May 19, opens at 5:00 P.M. with racing at 8:00 P.M. Saturday, May 20, opens at the same time, with racing starting at 7:30 P.M. (CDT). Tickets are $20 daily for adults, $15 for seniors, and free for kids 12 and under. Pit Passes are $35.
The event is being promoted by Terry Mattox. For more information, contact him at (918) 417-0624 or email [email protected]. Longdale Speedway is located just south of Longdale, Okla., on OK-58.
