Oil Capital Racing Series Sprint Cars Ready For A Showdown at Outlaw Friday Night!

John Lemon OCRS Public Relations

Tulsa, Oklahoma (August 2, 2011) – After a weekend of exploring a new venue, the Oil Capital Racing Series will once again blast their way into the confines of the Outlaw Motor Speedway in Muskogee Oklahoma to continue their assault on the 2011 sprint car tour. OMS typically produces some of the finest racing on tour and race fans will get another opportunity to witness that first hand this Friday night.

Among the racing action to witness, the battle for the 2011 “Harold Leep Championship Trophy” is as hot as the summer day. With 12 events in the books, Tulsa’s Sean McClelland holds a miniscule four point lead over Whit “The Gasman” Gastineau (966-962). Sitting just 54 markers back of the Gasman is Stillwell’s Rafe Essary. With an all-time record series point fund set in place for 2011, the $25,000 plus reward that awaits the successful and qualifying teams at season’s and end is putting an interesting twist on them to bring their best game forward.

Other than the race for the championship, the scramble to take a top ten prize in the points chase has become a heated battle in its self. Only 70 points separate positions nine through thirteenth. “The Princess”, Miss Shayla Waddell of Oklahoma City, leads that pack of challengers with 596 points. Tulsa’s Mike Goodman lurks behind Waddell by only seven markers with Bristow’s highly dedicated shoe, Tim Kent, only two points behind Goodman. A couple of the series’ younger warriors, Inola’s Terry Easum and Sapulpa’s Kyle Clark are the next two on the charts and are only separated by four points (530-526). With the share of the points fund going to those that make 75% of the 2011 events and some teams sitting outside that percentage as of late, each and every battle for position amongst the qualifying teams is an important stake for the money being offered up by OCRS with backing from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.

The last time OCRS was at OMS was July 15^th when McClelland took the third annual running of the “Harold Leep Nationals” against a field of 28 gun slingers in a night that was filled with wild crashes, racing action and on-track drama. With the aforementioned battles brewing, more of the same is expected. Join us this Friday night for an evening you will tell your friends and neighbors about.

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.

This is going to be OCRS's fourth stop at Outlaw, always great action and great racing at that track. Sean McClelland has won twice and Whit "The Gasman" Gastineau once. So sprint fans get out there Friday night and support your favorite driver and a great track!!!

Lynn Skinner has since taken back the track and has done an excellent job of promoting racing at Outlaw. I've seen him in action and he is right in the middle of the action of running the nights program. Great Job Lynn!!!

Dont forget.................SPRINT CARS TONIGHT @ OUTLAW!
