Saturday

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — Lee Sowell won the third annual Rumble at the River O’Reilly United Sprint Car Series Speedweek opener Saturday night at Riverside Int’l Speedway.
It was the young driver’s second-career O’Reilly United Sprint Car Series feature victory and came over a stout field of drivers from seven states. It was the first of seven nights of Speedweek competition.
Sowell started outside the front row and led the first four laps before polesitter Tim Crawley raced past on lap six. Crawley set the pace until he got bottled up in lapped traffic, allowing Sowell to regain the point on lap 12.
Sowell led the final 22 laps with Crawley following him to the checkered flag. Ronny Howard finished third, with Zach Chappell and Raymond Stull rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Lee Sowell, Tim Crawley, Ronny Howard, Zach Chappell, Raymond Stull, Marshall Skinner, Terry Gray, A.G. Raines, Eddie Gallagher, Ernie Ainsworth, Danny Martin, Jr., Justin Carver, Anthony Nicholson, Greg Merritt, Chris Williams, Henry Gustavus, Gary Wright, Derek Hagar, Phillip Faulkner, Dewayne Prince, Jeff Swindell, Wade Oliver, Ray Bugg, Don Young, Donny Howard.
