Bryan Hulbert – ELMA, Wash. (June 14, 2021) While 2020 have kept the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network closer to the mid-west, the series is set to make its annual pilgrimage to the Pacific Northwest with the return to Grays Harbor Raceway and the Brownfield Classic kicking things off on Saturday, June 19 and Sunday, June 20.
The tribute to legendary owner and promoter Fred Brownfield, the two-day affair at the facility he built will also feature the Northwest Focus Midgets and PHRA Dwarf Cars. The first of two weekends in Washington, the series will head to Skagit Speedway for the $15,000 to win Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by the Skagit Casino Resort on June 24, 25, and 26.
Focusing on Grays Harbor Raceway, the series has graced the three-eighths-mile oval 18 times since 2009. Roger Crockett won the inaugural event. Last, in action in 2019, Devon Borden picked up his first career victory with the National Tour during the Brownfield Classic prelim. Oklahoma’s Matt Covington would capture the championship A-Feature.
Going into the weekend, the battle for the championship is currently led by JJ Hickle. Retaking the lead after Memorial Day Weekend’s event at Lake Ozark Speedway, the advantage is slim at best, with only 82 markers separating the top five.
