SAPULPA, Okla. (April 10, 2015) Working top-to-bottom on the Creek County Speedway, New Mexico’s Johnny Herrera raced to his first victory of the season with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products.
Riding runner-up to Seth Bergman early, Herrera utilized a Lap 4 restart to bolt past the No. 23.
Challenged briefly in slower traffic, the MVT / Semi-Crazy Truck Wash No. 45x was able to stay on point. Seth Bergman settled for second after the brakes began to give in the final rounds. After destroying a car one week ago, Tennessee’s Brandon Hanks put his No. 3h on the final podium step.
Kevin Ramey and Kade Morton rounded out the top-five.
Matt Covington was sixth with Blake Hahn from 12th to finish seventh. Andy Shouse, Mickey Walker, and Tony Bruce, Jr. completed the top-ten.
