OCRS
SPRINT CARS ROLL INTO TRI-STATE SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY
Tulsa, Oklahoma (April 26, 2010)
- The Oil Capital Racing Series will roll their sleek and
ultra fast sprint cars into Tri-State Speedway this Saturday
night, May 1st. Tulsa Oklahoma’s
Mike Goodman will be
looking to start the 2010 season with back to back victories
after taking the season opener at Outlaw Motor Speedway on April
16th. Goodman pilots the #4AM machine sponsored by
Premier Homes and on opening night, crew chief
Matt Thomason had
the car set up so well, all Goodman had to do was stay out of
trouble. There will be several challengers however to attempt to
keep Goodman from leaving town with more hardware. Some of those
include:
Two time defending champion
Jamie Passmore of
Rose Oklahoma in the G.A.P Roofing #4,
Danny Smith of Sand Springs in the Same Day Auto Repair
number 5$ special, Rafe
Essary of Stillwell in the #26 Essary Motorsports car,
Jerrod (J-Rock) Wilson
in the Tim O’Toole
Motorsports #15x and Collinsville’s
Dean Drake Jr. in
the Drake Motorsports #77.
OCRS last visited Tri-State in the “Fall Nationals” in
2008. That event paid dividends for Owasso’s
Matt Sherrell.After knocking on the door of victory lane the entire
2008 season, Sherrell would make the Tri-State event his second
win in a row to close out the 2008 OCRS season. Sherrell also
collected a supersized check for car owners
Don and Pat Carnes
for $2,000 for that victory.
Danny Womack,
who owns Outlaw Motor Speedway in Oktaha Oklahoma, is also the
promoter at Tri-State Speedway and will host OCRS for the first
time at the 3/8 mile track. With approximately 25 degrees of
banking, the OCRS sprinters will produce speeds not typically
seen at some venues. Drivers meeting for the OCRS teams begin at
5pm with hot laps at 5:45pm and racing is set to begin at 630pm.
Tri-State Speedway is located just
off of HWY 9 / 112 / 271 / I-540 and
just a few minutes south of Fort Smith, Arkansas and about 10
miles north of Spiro, Oklahoma. If you’re using GPS, the
physical address is: 2374 W Race Track Rd in Pocola, OK, 74902.
