Lawton, OK — (May 4, 2013) — Taking the third round of competition of the 2013 season with the American Bank of Oklahoma Sooner Region, Mike Goodman worked into the race lead early and held off a hard charging Danny Wood at the Lawton Speedway.

Challenged in the final laps, Goodman was chased across the line by Wood with Jake Martens third. After a crash on the opening lap sent the No. 23 of Seth Bergman to the tail, the Snohomish, Wash. driver charged back to forth with Alex Sewell completing the top five.

Robert Sellers, Kolt Walker, Wyatt Burks, Matt Covington, and Danny Jennings made up the remainder of the top ten.
