Tulsa Oklahoma (March 6, 2013) - Today, the Oil Capital Racing Series was invited to
meet the wonderful children of the "St Francis Children's Hospital"
in Tulsa. OCRS provided a few sprint cars for display with drivers autographing
pictures for the kids. A variety of snacks were passed out and "Gabby The
Clown" joined in as well to entertain the children. Several smiles and
uplifting moods from the children made for a great day.
OCRS president Barry Grabel had this to say about the
event: “To see the children get a break from their issues by showing them
racecars and looking at the glow in their eyes is just fantastic. I sincerely appreciate
the drivers and their helpers for donating their time as they are. These are
special people and it’s an honor to have them race with our series,” said
Grabel.

Drivers in attendance were:
2012 series runner-up Danny Smith and his teammate Kyle Clark, Alex Sewell
(2012 Rookie of the Year), Michael Bookout (2012 Rookie of the Year runner-up) Kevin
Cummings, Rob Hooper and 2011 OCRS champion, Sean McClelland.
Special thanks goes out to
"Gabby" who was a delight for the children to see. OCRS would
especially like to thank hospital tour director Chrissy Streeter for the
invitation to meet the children and to Tom Cummings, Amanda Cummings &
Robert Bookout for their time and efforts.

It was also interesting to see the adult’s oooh and ahhhh over the racecars on
display. A few nurses passing by even took an opportunity to climb into the
cockpit of the cars to see what its like to be in the "office" of the
OCRS drivers. In all, it was a great event and the children were the stars of
the day.
Remember race fans.... The 2013 OCRS season kicks off on March 30th at the
Brill Motor Speedway in Meeker, Oklahoma and the OCRS warriors will do so
"non-wing" style.
