ELK CITY, Okla. (May 13) – Defending series champion Andy Shouse started on the pole and led every lap of Saturday’s Sprint Series of Oklahoma feature at Elk City Speedway.
Shouse held onto the point through restarts on the first and fifth laps and had a full straightaway advantage over Tristan Oakes while Blake Dacus and Chad Koch battled for third at midway.
Slower cars were not a challenge to the leader over the second half of the race. The reigning IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car national champion never missed a beat and went on to cruise to his second straight series victory and third career with the SSO.
Oakes and Dacus finished a career best second and third respectively with eighth starting Koch coming home fourth. Steven Shebester settled for fifth and while Jake Martens started 18th and ended in sixth.
