IMCAAllstarShootout

ARDMORE, Okla. (May 27) – A fast-paced All Star Shootout fueled by Fast Shafts program at Southern Oklahoma Speedway ended with Matt Guillaume, Matthew Day and Jeffrey Abbey in victory lane. Hustling to beat bad weather, Guillaume was promoted to the $1,000 IMCA Modified checkers after Wesley Veal came up light on the post-race scales. Day was lights out for the second night in a row at Ardmore in winning the Smiley’s Racing Products Southern SportMod feature and Abbey held Wednesday winner Tommy Fain in check to top the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car main event. Guillaume, defending champion in the Razor Chassis South Central Region and at Southern Oklahoma, was quickly up to second from his ninth starting spot. “We were really good around the very bottom, then moved to the high line after we saw Wesley go by,” said Guillaume, already a Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot candidate.
