Muskogee racer claims two features on same night


Special to the Phoenix

OKTAHA — Heath Weston’s drive through a dust storm was worth the effort as he joined just a hand full of drivers to win two features in the same night at Outlaw Motor Speedway here Friday evening.

Weston won a pair of 360 Modified features — a makeup race from last week’s card that was rained out — and the regular Friday night event. He won both races with ease.

Weston of Muskogee won the wreck-filled first race of the evening, leading from start to finish. He beat Braggs’ Patrick Goodnight to the checkered flag.

In the regular race, high winds, lightning, and rain in the area threatened to postpone the race once again.

But officials shortened the race to 15 laps and restarted races after each caution single file. Even at that, race conditions were better than ideal with the high winds from the northwest picking up dust and blowing it across turn four with force.

Weston took the lead in this race on lap five and led the rest of the way. His chief challenger was Spiro’s Brookin Stephens, who didn’t have the horsepower on this night. Muskogee’s Kerney Weaver was third.

Toby Lindell of Muskogee rolled his car in turn one, but he emerged from it without injury. In the first feature, Stephens was involved in an accident. He left the track in an ambulance, but the knee injury did not prevent him from racing in the final feature.

Pure Stock

There was an opportunity for Mike Burnett to win a pair of features, but after winning the makeup race, he had to leave the track in the regular race with car problems.

Bobby Lewis, a former Muskogee track champion, won a thrilling race, beating Lee McClain of Chouteau and Dalton Ragsdale of Fort Gibson.

Lewis led all but four laps of the race — running second to McClain on laps 10-13. He wrestled the lead from McClain on a restart on lap 14 and won the green-white-checkered flag drag race to the finish. He got a good inside start out of turn four.

In a makeup of the 15-lap race, Burnett won his fourth race of the year, leading from lap four to the finish. The Muskogee driver had to block McClain twice in the final two laps for the win.
