Back To The Buckeye State For 19-Year-Old Brandon Oakley After Fifth Place Run In Redbud 300   

Columbus Motor Speedway Next 2013 ARCA/CRA Super Series Rookie Runner-Up (Special from Brandon Oakley Racing)

June 26, 2014

Beavercreek, Ohio (June 26, 2014) – All Brandon Oakley needed in ARCA/CRA Super

Series Powered by JEGS was a strong finish in a high profile event. If nothing else to

prove that he truly belonged with the elite in Super Late Models racing in the country. That

opportunity came in the last race, which also happened to be the first round of the

$100,000, the Stoops Freightliner Redbud 300 at the fast 1/4 (0.250) mile high-banked

paved oval of Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana on June 21st.

After Qualifying 10th out of a 24-car field, the 19-year-old fought to stay in the top 10 the

entire race and was as high as second at one point before hanging on for a solid fifth

place finish. "We had a really good run in the RedBud 300 and hopefully we can keep the

good runs going." Stated the Beavercreek, Ohio driver. "We have continued to get better

and progress in the right direction this year and I hope we can continue in that same

direction." He added.

Oakley will now focus his efforts on the next race on the schedule; the JEGS 125

Presented by CoughlinCars.com for the ARCA/CRA Super Series on Saturday, June 28th.

A track his is very familiar with, the 1/3 (0.333) mile semi-banked, circular shaped paved

oval of Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, Ohio. In his last race at Columbus, a

JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance event on May 24th,

Oakley won his first career CRA Fast Qualifier Award and would finish eighth in the Agroscapes 100 Presented by SizzleMarine.com & JEGS.com.

"I'm definitely looking forward to Columbus this weekend. I think if we can work hard and get a couple of breaks, we can certainly get us a solid top five run and maybe even contend for the win." The Buckeye State teenager continued. "We were pretty happy with our results from there on Memorial Day Weekend with getting the Fast Qualifier Award. We just missed it in the race a little bit, but we know what we need to do now." He ended

The plans for the rest of the 2014 racing season for Oakley and his revitalized Brandon Oakley Racing Team are to make select appearances in the ARCA/CRA Super Series as well as in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour. He also hopes to make it to several higher profile weekly shows within in his home state of Ohio. There's also the possibility of competing in select NASCAR K&N Pro Series East races later in the year as well.
