TULSA, OK (January 1, 2022) – The third race of the night that was settled in the last 100 feet at the 37th annual Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout, Oklahoma’s Jett Nunley held off the charge of Jett Barnes for the Restricted A-Class Golden Driller.
Taking off with the lead from the start, Jett Nunley set a rapid pace on the field with Brecken Reese chasing. Into traffic on lap 9, Nunley’s half-stretch advantage vanished as Reese chased the No. 33 through the field. Getting a slower car between himself and the No. 20q, caution lights slowed the action on Lap 11.
Pulling away again on the restart, the race for second saw Jett Barnes taking the spot on Lap 15.
Caution again the following lap, it was Jett versus Jett with Nunley continuing to hold the lead. Staying that way to the white flag, a small slip by Nunley off the second turn presented the chance for Barnes. Pulling under the No. 33, Barnes gave it everything. A few tire taps to the checkered flag, Nunley held on by 0.149-seconds for his first career win.
Jett Barnes crossed second with Garrett Benson rolling to third. Cooper Miller was fourth with Kortland Stephens making up five spots to complete the top five.
