11.4.23 OCRS Sprints Results

John Rittenoure – CANEY, Kans. (November 4, 2023) – Rees Moran make it look easy racing to his fourth AmeriFlex Hose & Accessories OCRS Sprint Car feature in the season finale Saturday at Caney Valley Speedway.

But it was far from easy. Moran was fortunate as he raced the last half of the 30-lap feature without brakes.

“Track was really good. Definitely my style,” Rees Moran said. “The first ten laps I felt real good then we had a caution and either the brakes boiled over or we just lost them. It made it a lot tougher to get around the track with speed. I had to slow down on entering which I knew would make the guys behind me catch me.”

Moran was worried about pole sitter Danny Wood who was right behind him.

“Danny Wood is always fast. You can’t count him out,” Moran said. “I was just hoping he would race me clean if he did get me. I hit the wall once in (turns) 3 and 4. I had no where to go and scraped the wall. Bu we brought it home in one piece.”

Moran beat Wood into the lap one lead and went the distance despite the problems he was having.

“You had to get a good start,” Moran said of racing Wood into the early lead. “Danny’s car takes off real good, so I knew I had to get the jump and take off early. Luckily I got it and stayed in clean air and run my race.”

Baron Silva finished third behind Wood, Alex Sewell charged from ninth to fourth and Johnny Kent rounded out the top five to capture the 2023 OCRS championship.
