FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sands Chevrolet USAC SouthWest Sprint Car Series

DAVIS, HAHN & JOHNSON TOP USAC SOUTHWEST “FREEDOM TOUR” STOPS
By Lance Jennings

AUGUST 23, 2017... Showcased for four nights at three racetracks in three states, three different drivers claimed victory during the “5th Annual Freedom Tour.” The Arizona based Sands Chevrolet USAC SouthWest Sprint Car Series ventured to I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas), Creek County Speedway (Sapulpa, Oklahoma), and 81 Speedway (Wichita, Kansas) before returning home.

Opening on Wednesday, August 16th, twenty-three drivers checked into the first series event at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas. Starting sixth, “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. (Buckeye, Arizona) took the lead from R.J. Johnson on lap 29 and scored his fourth win of the campaign. Tim Crawley, Dennis Gile, “The Bull” Tye Mihocko, and hard charger Dustin Morgan rounded out the top-five drivers. Heat races were claimed by “The Magic Man” Mike Martin, Davis, and Johnson as Davis earned top-qualifier honors. Morgan raced to victory in the 8-lap semi-main event.

The following night, Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma hosted the second round of the “Freedom Tour.” A stout field of thirty-two drivers checked in and the night belonged to hometown driver Blake Hahn (Sapulpa, Oklahoma). Dustin Morgan led the first two circuits and Hahn took command to score his second career series win over Stevie Sussex, Morgan, Jonathan Beason, and R.J. Johnson. Sussex, Forrest Sutherland, Fred Mattox, and “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. topped the heat races and Mattox posted top-qualifier honors. Kyle Clark and Craig Carroll transferred to the feature after winning the twin semi-mains. 

On Friday, August 18th, the USAC SouthWest Sprints returned to 81 Speedway in Wichita, Kansas. Sixteen racers signed in and R.J. Johnson (Laveen, Arizona) earn his first win at the popular 3/8-mile oval. Taking the lead from “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. on the tenth lap, Johnson took the checkered flags ahead of Davis, top qualifier Dennis Gile, “The Bull” Tye Mihocko, and Dustin Morgan. Mihocko, Johnson were heat race winners and Davis and Johnson took the qualifying races.

After rains forced Caney Valley Speedway officials to cancel the scheduled finale, Series Director Kevin Montgomery made arrangements for the Wichita oval to host the Saturday event. After four official lead changes, “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. (Buckeye, Arizona) emerged victorious over the fourteen car field and became the tour’s only repeat winner. Hard charger R.J. Johnson “The Bull” Tye Mihocko, Michelle Decker, and Shon Deskins rounded out the top-five drivers in the 25-lap main event. Chris Bonneau and Mihocko topped the heat races, while Davis was the night’s top qualifier. 

The Sands Chevrolet USAC SouthWest Sprint Cars will return to action on September 2nd and 3rd at Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Co-sanctioned with the NMMRA Sprint Cars, the “Border Tour” races will pay $2,000-to-win. For more information, visit www.snmspeedway.com or call 575.524.7913.
