4th Annual “Oklahoma State Championship” Goes to Whit Gastineau!

By: John Lemon


Ada, Oklahoma (September 18 2010) Whit Gastineau cruised to victory in the 4th running of the Oil Capital Racing Series sprint car special, the 25 lap “Oklahoma State Championship”at the Oklahoma Sports Park in Ada Saturday night. For Gastineau, it was his fourth OCRS main event victory in only 10 entered events this season.



Gastineau started outside the front row alongside pole sitter Jamie Passmore in the feature race in his Shell Oil & Lube / Larry Allen Engines / Eagle chassis sprinter. Passmore, in his familiar G.A.P. Roofing Eagle, won the drag race to turn one only to have Gastineau sweep around him on the high side and take the lead coming out of turn two heading down the backstretch. Travis “Hollywood” Jenkins tucked into third in the Mid-America Speedway / Premier Homes special with Robert Sellers in the Select Coatings / Waurika Truck & Tire #4x fourth.


Sellers would overtake Jenkins on the third lap for the show position while Danny Smith and Lee Jennings (one of four Jennings members racing this night), along with Gary Owens, would combat one another for the fifth position. Gastineau would close in on lap traffic on the sixth circuit. In the meantime, Danny Jennings would catch the aforementioned parties to vie for that fifth spot from his tenth starting position. Owens began to move early by disposing of Smith on lap eight and Jenkins on lap ten to move into fourth. Sellers had been applying pressure to Passmore over the past couple of laps and made a move to pass by the current OCRS points leader for second on lap eleven.


A yellow would put a halt to action on the next lap for Joe Bob Lee who was slow to exit the racetrack with mechanical problems. Smith stalled on the track with a motor problem and his race was over. The restart would see Gastineau on the point followed by the lapped cars of Tim Kent and Kerry Mac Alister Sellers, Passmore, Owens, Jenkins, D. Jennings, Smith and Lee Jennings. Before another lap could be put in the books, D. Jennings worked past both Jenkins and Owens. D. Jennings would then close up the gap to third and took that spot from Passmore on lap 15. By the 18th lap, you could place a blanket over Jenkins, L. Jennings and Owens for the fourth spot.


Lee Jennings took over fourth on the 19th lap by passing Passmore in turn three and set his sights on Danny for his next target. Owens moved up a spot by also passing Passmore one lap later. Misfortune found Sellers when his car quit running on the next go around thus forcing him to exit pitside. Gastineau took the white flag with five lapped cars between himself and second place Danny Jennings. Lee Jennings would lose third in turns one and two on the last lap allowing both Owens and Passmore to pass. “LJ” would finish fifth with Jenkins, Billy Frazier, Brady Demeree Tyler Johnson and Kyle Clark completing the top ten.


Lawton’s Tyler Johnson outlasted Kerry McAlister to win the 12 lap B Feature. Brady Demeree and Tim Kent were two drivers that also that earned transfer positions with their third and fourth place runs as the top four went to the A Feaure.


OCRS will resume racing action next Saturday night at the Wild West Speedway in Clinton, Oklahoma.


Quotes:


Whit Gastineau: “It didn’t really matter who got out front first at the start. The best car was going to win I thought. It was kind of nice to finally finish one here. It seems like we have had some bad luck here (in the past). I was watching out for the lapped cars. I really wasn’t sure how big a lead I had. We really couldn’t of done that (win the race) without Larry Allen our engine builder. We just had this one (engine) rebuilt in the last couple of weeks.”(Whit says it was the first night out for the rebuilt motor).


Danny Jennings: “Running up on those lapped cars helped me out more than anything. I had to jockey around and find a position to find the better part of the racetrack and we just got to use it (lapped traffic) more and more and more and it just started to become my advantage and then we got to chasing Whit down and that’s all we can do. About half way through, the car really came to life. I really wish we wouldn’t of had those yellows at all because the longer we went, the faster we were getting. Overall it was a pretty good run, I can’t complain.”


Gary Owens: “We had a pretty good night tonight. I have to thank my dad, Glen Owens and my sponsors. I wish we could of gotten around lapped traffic a little bit quicker tonight. I thought we would have had something for at least second place but I don’t know about first, but we did have a pretty good night. There was some slop on the bottom (of turns 1 and 2) and someone ran through it and kicked it up on the track and then I got into it and it kind of put me behind the eight ball a little bit.”
