Harris earns first Oil Capital victory with late pass for lead

By John Rittenoure KELLYVILLE, Okla. (March 19) – Persistence paid off in a career-first AmeriFlex/Oil Capital Racing Series IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car victory for Noah Harris Friday at Creek County Speedway.   Harris chased down race-long leader Josh Tyre and finally passed him with three laps remaining for the lead and eventual victory.  “I struggled around the bottom. I thought that is where we had to be,” Harris said of his early laps in the 25-lap race. “I ran a couple of laps down there then we went to the top.” That is when Harris started to advance. After a lap 12 restart, Harris drove around veteran Danny Wood for second and chased after Tyre. It took Harris 10 laps before he was finally able to pull even with Tyre.  “He ran a really great race,” Harris said of Tyre. “Josh is a great racer and I was finally getting lucky through (turns) three and four to get a run to catch him. “My guys did a great job getting the car ready and making the [Read More]

Easum turns luck around with Oil Capital win at Ada

By John Rittenoure  ADA, Okla. (April 9, 2022) – After a couple nights of costly engine failures Terry Easum was more than ready to see things turn around. And that happened Saturday at Oklahoma Sports Park.  Easum drove his Premier Self Storage IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car into the early lead and went the 25-lap distance to win the AmeriFlex/Oil Capital Racing Series main event.  “It has been awhile,” said Easum, who had not won since 2021. “We had some bad luck the past few weeks. I think we got it turned around now.” The tough luck started last month at Lawton.  “We broke a motor,” Easum said. “The block started leaking. Just a freak deal. But Greg Meyers got it fixed up for us.” “At Thunderbird it would not run and we had an issue there. It has been one thing after another,” he continued. “Hopefully this is the turning point for the year.” When the green flag dropped on the main event, Zach Chappell chased Easum for the first lap before giving way to Whit [Read More]
