McClain, battling from the back of the field, caught Burnett on lap eight and was on his bumper from there. In the final two laps, he pulled along side Burnett on the backstretch, but each time Burnett used the low groove to maintain the lead.

Colton Dunlap won one of the better races of the evening, beating a hard-charging Dale Richardson. The two Muskogee drivers dueled for the top spot for the final 13 laps of the 20-lap race.

The final five laps were particularly interesting. The two ran practically side-by-side on the backstretch, with Dunlap holding the high groove. Richardson would get a slight advantage low in turns three and four, but when the two exited four in the homestretch, Dunlap had the advantage, slight-shooting down the straight, just moving ahead of his rival at the flag stand.

In the final two laps, Richardson chose to try to muscle the 16-year-old Muskogee High junior out of the prime groove, but was unsuccessful. Dunlap refused to budge out of the high lane.

Modified

Jareed Russell of Muskogee won his first feature. He was a start-to-finish winner of the race sliced to 15 laps because of the threatening weather conditions,

Russell held off Jarrod Havens and Tulsa’s Chad Davis.

Greg Skaggs of Bixby who has won four features, pulled to the infield on lap nine.

Russell took the lead from the pole and fought Justin Fulton, Fort Gibson, in a hotly contested race for nine laps. Russell used the whole track in fighting off Fulton, who dropped lout after 10 laps with car problems.

Havens and Davis were no factors at the end.
