USAC SOUTHWEST SPRINTS RESUME SEPTEMBER 2 AT EL PASO; JOHNSON TAKES TWO, HODGES ONE IN “FREEDOM TOUR”

The USAC Southwest Sprint Cars resume their 2016 points championship September 2 at Western Tech Raceway Park in El Paso, Texas following last week’s “Freedom Tour” special-event “non-points” events in Oklahoma and Kansas.

R.J. Johnson of Phoenix, Ariz., who leads in his quest for a fourth consecutive series title, starred in the “Freedom Tour,” winning the first two races and finishing second in the finale. Race three at 81 Speedway in Wichita, Kans. fell to the elements.

Johnson and his Kodiak Products/Beal’s Auto Body Sherman/Ford grabbed Wednesday’s race at Lawton (Okla.) Speedway. He passed Andrew Deal on lap 25 and led the final six laps for the win over Deal, Josh Hodges, Shon Deskins and Anthony Nicholson. Johnson exclaimed, “I parked it tonight for Bryan Clauson!”

Johnson trailed Dennis Gile for 27 laps Thursday night at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Okla. before taking over for the final three laps. Hodges was second ahead of Gile, Koby Barksdale and Deskins.

Saturday’s finale at Dodge City (Kans.) Raceway Park saw Hodges lead the final five laps to beat Johnson to the checkered flag. In a see-saw battle at the front, Johnson led the first 16 laps before Hodges took over the point for the next seven laps.* Johnson reclaimed the lead for two more as Hodges rallied to grab the lead for good in the last five laps in his Jackson Compaction/Mesilla Valley Transportation Maxim/Gibson. Deskins took third ahead of Jeremy Campbell and Charles Davis Jr.

Hard Charger Awards were captured by Deskins (Lawton), Alex DeCamp (Creek County) and Deskins (Dodge City).
