Hutchinson, Kansas – August 4, 2018 - Coming off an emotional win last season in the “Mid-Summer Classic,” veteran Danny Jennings of Norman, Oklahoma solidified his statement on how much he and his crew enjoyed running atop the famed half-mile oval atop the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, Kansas as he claimed the National Championship Racing Association of Park City, Kanas presented by Precise Racing Products sprint car portion of the 62^nd annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Hutchinson Grand Nationals presented by Allen Samuels Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep of Hutchinson on Saturday night.

 

Jennings, aboard the David Grace Motorsports owned #1j and Jeff Stasa started on the front row for the fifteen-lap championship feature with Jennings and his Patterson Elite powered Maxim chassis taking the lead as the green flag fell.
