From John Lemon
This Friday and Saturday nights will see the winged warriors of the Oil Capital Racing Series embark on a doubleheader weekend that will feature two tracks that produced some of the most thrilling and exciting action seen on the OCRS circuit last season. The current point leader for the 2013 OCRS championship crown is the “Lindsay Flash”, Miss Harli White from Lindsay Oklahoma. Miss White is coming off a very strong third place finish last weekend where Flyin’ Brian McClelland won his first OCRS feature in 2013 and sits in the second spot in the point standings, just 64 points behind White (582-518). Here’s a look ahead to the doubleheader weekend………..
Friday Night – “Monett Speedway”
Just a couple of hours from home base, Monett Speedway promoters Randy and Linda Mooneyham have invited OCRS back after a successful debut by the popular sprint car series last year. OCRS was more than willing to accept as Monett Speedway has a long tradition of providing excellent racing action over the years and the debut of the OCRS series to Monett Speedway last summer kept that reputation in tact as Moore Oklahoma’s Whit “Gasman” Gastineau won the 25-lap sprint car feature event with an exciting last-lap pass of Sapulpa Oklahoma’s Danny Smith. It was a race that gave those in attendance everything they paid to see and then some. Expect more of the same when the sprint cars hit the red clay oval bullring.
