Down to the final four events of the 2019 season with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, two of those will be checked off this weekend at the 46th annual Devil’s Bowl Winter Nationals at the famed Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas.
Taking place Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19, the half-mile Texas oval has been a staple of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network since 1994 with 33 drivers earning wins over the course of 94 events.
Going into the Devil’s Bowl doubleheader, the driver at the top of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network standings is once again Sam Hafertepe, Jr. Trailing by 20-markers going into this past weekend’s events at Creek County Speedway, Sam’s ninth win of the season jettisoned the Heidbreder Foundation No. 15h to a 14-point advantage over Blake Hahn going into the Devil’s Bowl Winter Nationals.
With history on his side, Hafertepe has topped the National Tour five times at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway since 2011, including three consecutive wins in 2017. Hahn, who is winless at the Devil’s Bowl in National Tour competition, has four podium runs with a trio of runner-up finishes, including the series’ most recent visit during the 2019 ASCS Sizzlin’ Summer Speedweek on June 4 which ended in a photo finish with Travis Rilat.
Looking back through the top ten in tour standings, Roger Crockett holds third by only 13 points over Matt Covington with Scott Bogucki in fifth. Trailing by 30 in sixth is John Carney II, followed by Robbie Price who has Harli White trailing by 17 markers. Jordon Mallett and Tucker Doughty complete the top-ten.
