OCRS AmeriFlex Challenge VIII is Saturday at Salina Highbanks Speedway

John Rittenoure - TULSA, Okla. (September 25, 2023) - After 16 events over 6 months, the field is set for Saturday’s OCRS AmeriFlex Hose & Accessories Challenge VIII at Salina Highbanks Speedway.

Drivers that entered at least 7 of the 16 events held qualified for the Challenge and are locked into Saturday’s $3,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start main event.

A total of 23 drivers will compete in three heat races to determine their starting position in the main event. Drivers will draw for heat race starting positions and passing points will determine feature starting positions. A redraw will be held after the heats.

Following is a list of drivers who are qualified for Saturday’s Challenge VIII. No other drivers are eligible to race in this event.

Sheldon Barksdale, Mitchell Barros, Zach Chappell, Johnny Kent, Joe Bob Lee, Joshua Tyre, Danny Wood, Emilio Hoover, Brandon Leland, Alex DeCamp, Fred Mattox, Rees Moran, Gage Laney, Terry Easum, Ryker Pace, Blake Edwards, Alex Sewell, Danny Smith, Bradley Fezard, Jimmy Forrester, Frank Taft, Casey Wills, Greg York.

Alex Sewell is the only repeat winner of the AmeriFlex Challenge with wins coming in 2019-20. Sewell finished third last year (2022) behind Challenge VII winner Whit Gastineau and second place Blake Hahn. Sewell was awarded an OCRS victory on May 27 of this year at Salina when first place finisher Blake Edwards was disqualified when he weighed light at the scales after the feature. Hahn won Challenge VI in 2021. Mike Goodman was the 2018 winner, Mickey Walker won in 2017, and Sean McClelland captured the very first Challenge in 2016.
