Beavercreek, Ohio (October 8, 2014) – The 43rd running of the Winchester 400
weekend is one of the most prestigious events in the country. The legendary 1/2
(0.500) mile high-banked paved oval of Winchester Speedway (IN) located west of
the Indiana / Ohio state line and east of Muncie in Winchester, Indiana is a track
where any racecar driver would love to just race at let alone visit victory lane. For
Brandon Oakley, he'll get two opportunities to see the checkered flag first.
The Winchester 400 weekend starts on October 10th with the final race of the 2014
racing season for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance;
the Winchester 100 Presented by JEGS.com. Then on Saturday, October 11th is
Winchester 400 Pole Qualifying to set the field for the 43rd running of the Winchester
400 on Sunday, October 12th for the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS.
Oakley will participate in both races with hopes of capturing at least one checkered
flag. Maybe two.
"I can't wait to get to Winchester for the 400. I think we can have a really good run
and a shot at the win if we can stay out of trouble and be there at the end." The 20-
year-old from Beavercreek, Ohio stated as he and his Brandon Oakley Racing Team
get both cars ready for the trip. "We are taking our JEGS/CRA car also mainly to
just go have some fun. Hopefully we can be fast off the trailer and have a good run in
it also. Maybe even learn a little bit for the rest of the weekend." He added.
In his last races at Winchester over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend, Oakley, the recently crowned 2014 Robbie Dean Memorial Series Champion dropped out of the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour race just 12 laps in due to a faulty clutch, he responded on Labor Day Monday in the ARCA/CRA Super Series with an impressive sixth place finish. "I was pretty happy with our runs at Winchester. Even with only a few laps in the JEGS/CRA race. In the ARCA/CRA race, we were very loose on the long run, but we know what we need to do to be better when we go back for the 400 weekend." Oakley ended.
Despite limited ARCA/CRA appearances, Oakley is actually 10th in the driver's point's standings, 79 points outside of ninth with his first career win coming at his home track of Kil-Kare Raceway (OH) on September 14th. He also has two top five finishes and five top 10 showings. He also has two starts in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour where he won his first career CRA Fast Qualifier Award back on May 24th at Columbus Motor Speedway (OH).
For the rest of the 2014 racing season all of Oakley’s #51 Brandon Oakley Racing entries will all carry sponsorship support and decals from Dayton International Airport as well as DKBicycles.com Oakley Black Top, Duncan Oil, Main Auto Parts, McAfee Heating & Air, AR Bodies and M.P.H. Promotions.
