Inside Line Promotions – FORT WORTH, Texas (Sept. 14, 2016) – Brandon Hanks is one step closer to his first career sprint car championship.

Hanks produced a top-five finish last Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway to add to his lead in the ASCS Red River Region championship standings. He now owns a 183-point advantage with only three races remaining.

“We’re inching closer,” he said. “We still are going into each race with the same mindset.”

Hanks kicked off the race by charging from fourth to win a heat race. That locked him in the feature redraw, where he pulled the highest number – eight – to start the feature on the outside of the fourth row.

“The car was really good, but my drawing skills got us behind the eight ball right off the bat,” he said. “Also, I should have made some better decisions early in the race. We had a really fast car. We passed Wayne Johnson and some good cars. We were catching Blake (Hahn) and lapped traffic came into play. There were three to five lapped cars between me and Blake for fourth with John Carney II right in front of him and then we had a late caution. That hurt me a lot as far as getting to them. I ran out of time.”

Hanks maneuvered to a fifth-place finish, which marked his 12th top five of the season.
