Race
fans and race teams should make note that the wingless sprint car event
scheduled for this Friday night at the Mid-America Speedway in South
Coffeyville Oklahoma is cancelled. OCRS officials are working to move
the event to another facility this season. OCRS will make the
announcement as to where and when once a date and a venue are secured.
Stay tuned.

The Wait Is Over and The Anticipation Of Exciting Topless Action Is High
Through
the 2012-2013 off-season, the anticipation of watching 360 cu. in.
sprint cars dice their way around the track wingless style was at
constant high. The season opener did not disappoint as then 17 year old
White’s win was not only popular in nature, but it was a race that saw
tight knit action for the lead as the likes of Joe Wood Jr, Andrew Deal
and Jamie Passmore made for a night that kept race fans chattering for
days after.
West Siloam Speedway is a ¼ mile track that will
surely lend itself to some of the action that was evidenced back in
March. OCRS has received numerous emails, calls and social media
messages from both fans and teams wanting to get to the next wingless
event and now that time has come. Three feature winners of the first six
events held by OCRS this year will look to add to their early season
success. In addition to White (who has three wins), the “Morton Gang”,
brothers Kade and Chance, will be in action at WSS looking for more
victory hardware. Some of the series drivers expected to try and capture
their first win of the young season include:
“The Caretaker” Danny Smith......“Flyin Brian” McClelland
Johnny ‘Hotrod’ Kent..................‘Jammin Jamie’ Passmore
Alex “The Jet’ Sewell..................“Lightning” Layne Himebaugh
Joe Wood Jr................................Kyle Clark
Rafe Essary................................Alex DeCamp
Michael Bookout.........................Cody Brewer
………………and more!
