OCRS opens the new Arrowhead Speedway Friday, takes on Salina Highbanks Saturday

John Rittenoure - TULSA, Okla. (May 22, 2023) - After a month off the AmeriFlex Hose & Accessories OCRS Sprint Cars return to action this weekend with a pair shows.

The two-night weekend begins on Friday at the new Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Oklahoma. Friday is opening night for the remodeled speedway under new ownership (formerly Flint Creek Speedway) and the night will bring back fond memories for long-time OCRS fans.

It was 2015 when the AmeriFlex OCRS Sprint Cars last raced at what was then Flint Creek Speedway and veteran Robert Sellers won the 30-lap main that night over OCRS career wins winner Whit Gastineau. Sellers went on to win the 2015 season championship.

Friday’s show will be only the fifth event of the season after rain washed out four shows.

Three winners have emerged in the first four events. Tanner Conn and Fred Mattox won the first two shows of 2023, and Kansas driver Zach Blurton comes into the weekend on a two-race win streak.

Saturday Salina Highbanks Speedway will host the first of two shows slated for the season. Last May Alex Sewell conquered the 3/8’s mile oval for the fifth time in six visits to the Highbanks. In September Gastineau won to put his name on the list of AmeriFlex Challenge champions with a victory at Salina.
