Published July 26, 2008 11:48 pm - Skaggs’ Outlaw streak continues By Kenton Brooks Phoenix Sports Writer OKTAHA — Even the hottest driver at Outlaw Motor Speedway had some doubts Friday night.
Bixby’s Greg Skaggs spun out twice in his Outlaw Modified heat. “I was thinking that maybe I should’ve gone to the movies instead,” he said. “It didn’t look seem like it was going to be my night.” Skaggs collected himself in the feature, taking the lead on lap 15 of the 20-lap race and held off Muskogee’s Tate Cole to win for the fourth straight week and seventh time in the last eight features in the division formerly known as Super Modified. He’s won 11 times this season. “It took a long time to pass him,” Skaggs said. “I was able to do well in the curves to get enough ahead of him. It’s been quite a year.” Cole could only shrug his shoulders after the race. “I tried,” he said. “His experience makes him so good. He’s been racing a long time and he’s got a good car.” Pure Stock Boynton’s James Gillean probably hopes to start another streak. He won his fifth race of the season and the first since July 4 when he took the lead in lap six of 15 and raced to the checkered flag in a car where the brakes failed during the race. “It was scary,” he said. “I just floated around the curves.” Tahlequah’s Jason Ward, who has four feature wins, was second and Muskogee’s Jon Richardson was third.
