Tulsa Oklahoma (June 22,
2012) – Coming
off very successful venues on initial 2012 tour stops, the winged sprint cars
of the Oil Capital Racing Series have been re-booked for more exciting sprint
car action in the Sooner state. Brill Motor Speedway in Meeker and the
Tri-State Speedway in Pocola have each added OCRS to their remaining 2012
schedules thus offering their markets more exciting open wheel racing.
OCRS returned to BMS last April
after an absence of several years and promoter Mark Brill was pleased with the
program. Hence the OCRS sprinters will bring back their winged warriors to BMS.
Superstitions aside, Brill is quite excited to bring in OCRS for a second go a
round on Friday July 13th. “I saw that everyone had a good time and
enjoyed themselves;” commented Brill. “Everything worked out well last time. The
fans and the race teams wanted OCRS to return so we decided to add another
date. Watching Joe Wood Jr. charge from last (20th) to second back
in April was really something to see. We have an entertaining weekly program
here and to have successful specials such as what the OCRS provides only gives
our track positive notoriety.”
The racetrack location makes for
a good old-fashioned Turner Turnpike rivalry as teams from the eastern side of
the turnpike take on the teams from the western side. In years gone by, the
Turner Turnpike rivalry was strong and intense as it made for great drama
between racers from the former State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City and the
racers from the former Tulsa Speedway. Race fans will not want to miss this
special return to BMS and it all takes place in just three weeks!

Tri-State Speedway promoter Tim
Adams hosted his first OCRS sprint car event last weekend since October 2008
when he last held the throne at “Pocola Hill”. After a day of displaying sprint
cars at a local auto dealership and countless radio promotion, race fans
flocked to Pocola Hill and the event was a rounding success. Adams was pleased
enough that he immediately wanted another OCRS show as the fans displayed
unbridled enthusiasm throughout the entire program. Their reward for such
public appreciation: A September 8th return of the OCRS speed
rockets.
“The speed of the OCRS sprint
cars was really awesome to see;” said Adams. “Our fans were excited to watch
these drivers run so close together knowing one wrong move would spell
disaster. The reaction I saw from the fans during the autograph session at
intermission was incredible to witness. With a good attendance along with a
quality field of cars, I knew right then our fans needed another OCRS event and
we are going to give them one on September 8th “ said Adams.
OCRS president / promoter Barry
Grabel had this to say about the two bookings: “OCRS is ecstatic to have these
two facilities see the value of the OCRS sprint car series as we continue to
provide quality entertainment to the markets in which we perform. Additionally,
both Mark Brill of BMS and Tim Adams of TSS are great partners in which to work
with;” commented Grabel. “Promoters, just as race fans, have the opportunity to
invest their resources in various arenas. To have promoters like Mark and Tim
select OCRS as a preferred option for their fan base on their busy schedules is
sincerely an honor.”
Race
fans will want to mark their calendars for September the 8th as this
will be a must see event.
