COWETA, Okla. (March 23, 2016) Kade Morton’s weekend may not have ended the way he intended, but the defending American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region Champion came out of the Devil’s Bowl Speedway overall pleased with the handling of his Morton Excavating No. 8m.

“We did pretty good. We won the Heat Race to start off and overall the car felt really nice. We ran fourth in the qualifier after we got kind of hung up on the start, and in the feature we broke a Rod End on the left front Tie Rod and had to pull off,” said Morton.

Ending his night with a 19th place finish, Morton came out of the weekend National Tour co-sanctioned event ninth in ASCS Red River standings.

“It was a pretty good weekend even though we didn’t have a great finish in the feature. The car was good and felt fast plus we made the show at an ASCS National Tour event with almost 50 cars so I’d say we’re pretty confident going forward.”

Up next for Kade is Port City Raceway’s Turn Pike Challenge and the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget Series on Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2.

The 2016 season for Kade Morton will be a mixture of full time ASCS Red River action, OCRS Sprints, and Midget events throughout the mid-west. Kade’s racing adventures would not be possible without the help of his sponsors: Morton Excavating, Yocham Trucking, Whitacre Glass Works, MyRacePass.com, Wesmar, STK Racing Engines, Lucas Oil, Maxim Chassis and Super Shox.
