Bryan Hulbert – LONGDALE, Okla. (May 14, 2021) Rolling into Victory Lane on Night 1 of the Walleye Rodeo Roundup at Longdale Speedway, Roger Crockett became the 86th different driver to top an event with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products.

Roger’s 40th career ASCS Regional victory, the ASCS Sooner Region, is the fifth that Crockett has scored a win with.

Taking the green sixth, Crockett moved to fourth on the opening lap. Chasing the top three into the third and fourth turns on Lap 3, race leader Whit Gastineau began flipping violently, collecting Jeremy Campbell and Danny Jennings in the process. All drivers were able to walk away. Putting the lead in Roger’s hands on the restart, the Broken Arrow driver had to hold on through several cautions while the groove migrating to the bottom of the three-eighths-mile oval. Final caution with eight laps to go, the dash to the finish saw Crockett expand his lead by 2.267-seconds at the drop of the checkered flag.

Tyler Thomas made it to second from eighth, with Missouri’s Garet Williamson’s debut at the Oklahoma oval ending on the final podium step. Steven Shebester advanced from 15th to fourth, with Andrew Deal going 14th to fifth.
