Beavercreek, Ohio (August 28, 2014) – Although Brandon Oakley has not run the full
schedule within the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS in 2014; he has made
the most of those limited appearances. The improvement can be traced back to a
regrouping of sorts for the Beavercreek, Ohio driver who has been stellar in weekly and
mini-series competition closer to home in Central Ohio. Now that the weekly season is
winding down, it's time to get back into CRA mode for Oakley and his Brandon Oakley
Racing Team.
The newly crowned 2014 Robbie Dean Memorial Series Champion will head to the famed
1/2 (0.500) mile high-banks of Winchester Speedway (IN) on Sunday & Monday, August
31st & September 1st for the prestigious Labor Day Weekend World Stock Car Festival.
The extended holiday weekend begins on August 31st as Oakley will participate in the
JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance portion of the weekend;
the Winchester 100 Presented by JEGS.com. Then the following afternoon, its back into
ARCA/CRA Super Series mode with the headlining event of the weekend; the Winchester
100.
"We have a lot of momentum built up and hopefully we can do the same thing at
Winchester." Stated the 20-year-old as he and his crew led by Crew Chief, Gary Estes
get two cars ready for the legendary high-banks in Eastern Indiana. "It was really awesome to be crowned the Robbie Dean Memorial Series Champion and to get that title with a win at my home track of Kil-Kare Speedway (OH) at the last race." He added. Oakley's win in the last Dean Memorial Series race was also his third Feature Win of 2014 at the tricky 3/8s (0.375) mile semi-banked paved oval.
In his limited ARCA/CRA appearances, Oakley is actually 15th in the drivers points standings with one top five finish, an impressive fifth in the prestigious Redbud 300 at Anderson Speedway (IN) back on June 14th. He also has two top 10 finishes in those limited races. He also has one start 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). He finished eighth in the Agroscapes 100 Presented by SizzleMarine.com & JEGS.com.
The revised plans for the rest of the 2014 racing season for Oakley and his revitalized Brandon Oakley Racing Team are to finish out the remaining four races scheduled in the ARCA/CRA Super Series starting at Winchester. The next race after Labor Day Weekend is at his home track of Kil-Kare on Sunday, September 14th for the Buckminn's D&D Harley Davidson / Oakley Blacktop 125. Then it's the 2014 CRA Fall Brawl at Lucas Oil Raceway (IN) on September 27-28th before heading back to Winchester on October 10-12th for the 43rd running of the Winchester 400. He also hopes to run a couple of the five remaining JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour events as well.
