Tulsa, Oklahoma (May 30, 2011) – The “Sooner Sprint Nationals” is upon us and it will take place this Friday night, June 3^rd at the Outlaw Motor Speedway in Muskogee Oklahoma. Featuring the sleek and exotic winged Champ Sprint cars of the Oil Capital Racing Series, the Sooner Sprint Nationals will offer it’s competitors a chance to compete against the very best ‘champ sprint’ teams in the business on the 3/8 mile semi-banked clay track. OCRS competed on the resurfaced track on May 6^th where Moore Oklahoma’s “The Gasman”, Whit Gastineau, took victory laurels. Multiple race teams praised the racetrack that night with the Gasman commenting, “Normally its pretty dry here and tonight the bottom was pretty tacky.” Former OCRS champion Mike Goodman of Tulsa echoed that comment by saying; “I don’t think I’ve seen the track any better than this.” Track conditions were so good; the sprints were turning the fastest laps ever made at A Feature time for an OCRS event.

Tulsa’s Sean McClelland stepped up and snapped Gastineau’s 3 race win streak in the last OCRS outing on May 27^th with an impressive victory in his own XXX chassis while Dewey America’s Andrew “Hell on Wheels” Deal scored his best career OCRS finish with a runner-up run for car owner David Stephenson. Three time defending OCRS champion Jamie Passmore has yet to collect victory hardware in 2011 and has his aim set on making OMS the place to add another trophy to his growing collection.

Race fans can expect an exciting night of high speed, high adrenalin, wheel to wheel racing action that will leave a thirst to return for more of the same. In addition to OCRS sprint car action; OMS will present “Smash-A-Poolza” at intermission. Smash-A-Poolza is a daredevil / stunt show that can offer anything from car bowling, car jumping and/or fire stunts and more. Come out Friday night and checkout what stunts the Smash-A-Poolza show attempts to do this time!

Race fans in attendance will also have an opportunity win a prize for each OCRS sprint car heat race held. Here is how it works:

Once the OCRS teams have signed in, each car number will be put into a drawing. The same number of fans will be selected at random in the main grandstand to draw a number by an OCRS staff member. If you are holding the number of the winner of an OCRS heat race, you will win a prize designated for that race!

OMS is located just 11 miles south of Muskogee on Highway 69. Gates open at 5:00 pm Hot Laps start at 7:07pm Racing begins at 7:37pm OCRS participants are to register at the OCRS trailer upon arrival. Track phone: (918) 687-9200 Track website: www.outlawmotorspeedway.com

PITBOARD NOTES

Goodyear Time: Beginning this Friday night at OMS, GOODYEAR tires will be the sole tire brand used in OCRS competition on all four corners. Previously, OCRS teams were free to use any tires they still had in inventory from prior seasons.

Move Over, Coming Through: A few drivers made double digit improvements from their A Feature starting positions last week to earn a top ten result including:

Whit Gastineau: 13^th-3^rd

Mike Goodman: 19^th-6^th

Matt Sherrell: 18^th-7^th

Shayla Waddell: 20^th-10^th

Other Notable Movers n’ Shakers:

Danny Jennings: 12^th-4^th

Rafe Essary: 15^th-8^th

Kyle Clark: 16^th-9^th

Band of Warriors: OCRS has averaged 33 cars through the first five events of the 2011 tour, which makes the Champ Sprint series one of the healthiest in the region. With more teams preparing cars for action, the rest of the season looks bright as well.

You Got Beat By a Girl: 17 year old Kacee Frazier won her heat race last week. It was her second heat race triumph in five attempts this season. Her previous heat race win was at OMS on 5/6. She also won the pole dash race that night. Most girls Kacee’s age are trying to figure out how to get their Geo Metro’s above 40 mph.

Girls Can Be Trouble: Sean McClelland has four top five finishes in five events. Matt Sherrell and Rafe Essary have two such finishes in five starts yet they are positioned ahead of McClelland in the point standings. Why? Sherrell and Essary have made every main event held. McClelland failed to make the A Feature at Oklahoma Sports Park in Ada Oklahoma by one position in the B Feature. The final transfer spot that night was taken by 16 year old Harli White.It was no fluke, White can gas it up with the men with no hesitation.

Former Owner In da House: Former OCRS series owner and sprint car champion Kenneth Walker of Sapulpa made his 2011 debut last week but a blown motor in his heat race ended his night early. Walker is expected to enter future events throughout the season when not turning wrenches for his son’s (Mickey) micro sprint.
