The USCS Fall Nationals 2012 Flip Flop 50 twin main event season finale for the United Sprint Car Series winged sprint cars at historic Riverside Speedway in West Memphis, AR was rained out on Saturday night and re-scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
Sunday’s season finale produced two different winners. The 2006 USCS Rookie of the Year, Derek Hagar from nearby Marion, AR started from the K&N Filters Pole Position in front of the talent-laden field and charged into the lead and turn one and never looked back in route to victory lane in the first 25-lap contest to place himself in position to collect a $5000 bonus if he could win the second fully inverted 25-lap contest starting from the rear of the field. A 2012 sprint car rookie driver, 18 year-old Brandon Hanks from Burlison, TN started outside the front row and led a group of mostly young drivers to victory lane in the second fully inverted 25-lap main event.
On Sunday afternoon, young gun Dalton Davis kicked off the day’s action by advancing to the first A-Main by winning the first B-Main event. Morgan Turpen won the 12-lap Second B-Main contest that would set the final eight positions in the 22 car field for the first 25-lap main event. Davis and Turpen, along with three other cars from each B-Main contest joined fourteen drivers already locked into the front seven rows of the first main event. Ronny Howard from Nesbit, Mississippi was added to the field in twenty-third position as a provisional starter to set the field with 23 cars for the feature race finals.
After collecting the most passing points on Friday evening in his heat race and winning the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Friday night, Derek Hagar started from the pole in the first 25-lap main event. Sunday’s first feature race started straight-up from the finish of the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Friday night. Zack Pringle started outside of Hagar in the front row. Ten-time USCS National Champion Terry Gray started inside the second row with current National point’s leader Tim Crawley started outside of the second row.
On the start of the race, Hagar charged past Pringle into the lead in turn one. He then had to repeat that move after Brad Bowden’s loop in turn three on the first lap created a complete re-start. Hagar streaked away to lead the entire 25-laps after cautions for other incidents brought the field onto his rear bumper during two more caution periods. After Pringle fell out on lap two with mechanical issues. Tim Crawley charged from his fourth place starting position past Terry Gray into the runner-up spot. Crawley then chased Hagar the balance of the race, but, could not create a passing opportunity and followed Hagar to the checkered flag. Marshall Skinner finished third. Anthony Nicholson was fourth. Terry Gray rounded out the top five finishers.

Brandon Hanks charged from his outside front row starting position into victory lane 25-laps later in the second fully inverted half of twin main events. It was the young driver’s first-ever United Sprint Car Series win. A $2500 paycheck accompanied his victory at the historic ¼ mile Gumbo clay oval.
Jeff Willingham started from the pole and led the field into turn one. When the field of 23 cars reached turn three on lap one Willingham and the cars Dalton Davis and Eddie Gallagher tangled and brought out the caution for a complete re-start. Davis and Gallagher left the track unable to return. Willingham re-fired at the rear of the field.
On the re-start, Hanks and another rookie driver, Howard Moore led the field to the green flag. Hanks won the contest for the lead into turn one and never looked back with the hammer down all of the way to the finish line. Moore chased Hanks the entire distance from close range to race home in the runner-up spot. Casey Rowland charged his way from outside the fifth row past veteran Ronny Howard into third place on lap 24 to finish third. Howard, who lost a cylinder while running in second place earlier in the race, finished in fourth place and Curt Terrell finished fifth.
