POCOLA, Okla. -- With another hot Saturday, with temperatures
over 90 degrees and no rain, the racing got underway at 7 PM, on another well
prepared wide and smooth racing surface, with the clay taking rubber before the
hot laps were even finished. By the time features rolled around and the sun was
down, the track was glossing over in a 3 to 4 wide racing groove.
In Mini-Stock action, Brian White (owner of the 1W and occasionally piloted by
Dale Hargrove), took control early in his feature and never looked back to make
it two features win in a row and his third of the year. In Front Wheel Drives,
Betty Bieker (29) wife of Jack Bieker (39) took advantage of a one lap dash to
the finish, after a yellow, to sneak up on her husband on the last turn and make
the pass for the win, which is her first ever A feature victory. Also during the
Front Wheel Drive feature, Gary Strange (23) endured a violent single roll over
on the front straight, and then 3 impacts from other cars behind him, including
the last in the driver's door. He was shaken up, evaluated by the EMT's on duty
and released.
In another highly competitive Road Runner feature, Ryan Williams (17) looked to
have his 5th feature victory of the season locked up, with Ray Phipps (L7)
second, but official results would be different. Although Williams crossed the
line first, he was penalized for passing before the start line on an early
re-start in the race. (At TSS, the penalties for passing during a re-start are
assessed as a two position finishing penalty.) This mistake gave the win to
Phipps, Andrew Bohanan (51) second, and Williams third. Andy Milliken (6M) took
the lead early on, and survived several re-starts, for his second Super Stock
feature win of the season.
Colt Hamilton (9) finally was able to take advantage of a good starting position
to win his first A Economy Modified feature of the season. Newly transplanted
Fort Smith resident, William Gould (60) had his Modified again in top form as he
was able to catch and pass Brandon Wilson (12B) for his 5th win of the season.
Gould had the race won last week in his new car, but lost an engine 2 laps from
the finish.
Don't forget Tri-State Speedway will not be racing the next to Saturday nights
(July 28th and August 4th) for summer vacation.
Tri-State Speedway will resume racing again for a two night show on August 10th
and 11th, for the 29th Annual Coca-Cola Summertime Classice, presented by the
Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Fort Smith, featuring the Mid-South Racing
Association (MSRA) Late Models. Start time for both nights will be 8 PM, not the
normal 7 PM.
The MSRA Late Models will run a complete show each night. On Friday night, they
will be joined by TSS Mini-Stocks, Road Runners, and Modifieds for a regular
points program. On Saturday night, along with the MSRA Late Models, we will run
a points program for TSS Front Wheel Drives, Super Stocks, and Economy Modifieds.
Adult grandstand admission will be $12 each night, with kid's (5-11) only $3 and
kids 4 and under FREE. Adult pit passes will be $30 each night.
