Tulsa Oklahoma (April 2,
2013) – The
first race of the year is in the books and by all accounts, with an opening
night field of 38 cars, the Oil Capital Racing Series looks to be set for a good
season. This week, the battle-tested warriors will invade the Southern Oklahoma
Speedway where the track has produced some excellent excitement and is ready to
“Rock The House” with the sound of pure raw horsepower. The last tour stop OCRS
made to SOS was last August when Danny “The Caretaker” Smith passed a spinning
Jamie Passmore in the last turn of the last lap to take the win, which left the
fans in a frenzy over the exciting finish. Area race fans are now abuzz after
“The Lindsay Flash”, Miss Harli White, showed the boys how the game is played
when she swept the program last weekend and in doing so, the young lady won her
first ever OCRS main event becoming the second female in as many seasons to
accomplish such a feat. “The Princess”, Shayla Waddell, scored a win last May at
the Salina Highbanks and she will also be at SOS to take on the boys this
weekend.

from these warriors of the night as OCRS sprint car action anywhere is always
hot and heavy.

New A-Feature Line Up System Debuts
Saturday Night
OCRS officials will debut a new system in how automatically transferred drivers
from the qualifying heat races will line up for the night’s main event. In
addition, the number of cars from the heat races transferring directly to the
A-Feature will change from 16 to 12. The remaining cars to race in the evenings
A-Feature will come from one or two B-Feature events. The dozen automatically
transferred cars from the heats to the A-Feature will line up in an inverted
manner according to their “Feature Point Averages” from last week. A team who
did not attend last week will use their heat race points to factor in their
status as to whether they are part of the “Auto-12” or go to a B-Feature.
What This Change Means
For The Fans……..
In previous
seasons, the drivers that earned the right to start in the “Pole Dash” race
could start the A-Feature on the pole position or start sixth (depending on
their finish). After last week’s event, the Pole Dash event in now eliminated. With
the new system, fans will see the best performers (based on feature point
averages) start farther back. This format will give the fans a program where
these top performers will need to work their way through more cars to achieve
their goal of winning the main event. In addition, those teams who haven’t had
the success as others will have the opportunity to get a starting spot further
ahead of the field to test their skills in being able to obtain their own goal
of winning an OCRS event. Longtime fans of the sport will see a resemblance of what
most local tracks have used for years in inverting fields for the feature. Drivers
will need to get “On The Wheel” more than ever before.
