Inside Line Promotions – OWASSO, Okla. (March 12, 2018) – Tony Bruce Jr. begins his 2018 sprint car season at a home track.

Bruce Jr. will drive for Mike Hayashi this Friday and Saturday at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, during the 45th annual Spring Nationals with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by SawBlade.com.

“Any time you go to a place where you’ve won before you have a little more confidence,” Bruce Jr. said. “I’m always excited to race at Devil’s Bowl. It’s almost like my home track. I feel like it’s almost like the ASCS home track because we go there so many times per year.”

Bruce Jr. earned two ASCS National Tour victories at the track in 2014 and one in 2008. He also won at the half-mile oval in 2011 and has posted at least one top-10 finish there for 10 straights seasons.

“The key is making sure the car rotates,” he said. “What a lot of people do is end up getting their car too tight. We’ve been able to make sure we can get around the corners with ease.”

This weekend will mark the sixth and seventh races together for Bruce Jr. and Hiyashi, who partnered for a pair of ASCS National Tour events to end last season.

“I feel like we can go out there and win,” Bruce Jr. said. “The times I’ve driven the No. 12h car we’ve had the speed. We just need to have the luck and make sure we have the speed when it counts.”
