— OKTAHA — Hulbert’s Bobby Jack Potts came to have some fun and left Outlaw Motor Speedway a winner for the first time this season in the Pure Stock feature.
“I wanted to play with the points leaders,” he said with a smile while attaching his car to the trailer. “I had a good time. That’s a 1968 GTO. It’s a veteran car.”
But the car didn’t show its age.
Chouteau’s Brandie Levasseur led for seven laps before dropping out of the race on the third turn of the eighth lap. Potts, who is not among the points leaders, went out in front and zipped to the checkered flag.
“She broke down right in front of me,” Potts said. “I hated that. She’s a friend.”
Boynton’s James Gillean, who won last week, was second and Tahlequah’s Jason Ward was third as 11 cars finished from the original field of 18.

Outlaw Modified
Even Bixby’s Greg Skaggs can’t win them all.
Skaggs, the hottest driver at the Outlaw Motor Speedway for the last few weeks, was on his way to fourth straight win when his car broke down on the last lap of the 20-lap feature in the division once known as Super Modified.
Skaggs, who has 11 wins this season, had to come off the track.
Tulsa’s Chad Davis took over and circled the track the one time to win the race. His win was doubly nice, as he also picked up the $300 bounty awarded to anyone who could beat Skaggs in the feature.
Muskogee’s Tate Cole was the runner-up for the third straight.

Hobby Stock
Sapulpa’s Justin Green took the green flag in first place and was across the finish line before any of his fellow racers when the checkered flag was dropped.
It was his first feature win of the season for the driver who is not even among the Top 20 in the division’s point standings. He also won the first of two heats.
Muskogee’s Randy Moses II and Dale Richardson finished second and third, respectively.

Modified
Braggs’ Patrick Goodnight said goodbye to a racing drought with his first feature win since May 9. It was his second feature win of the season in the division once known as Economy Modified.
Eight cars finished from the original field of 15.

Late Model
Jordan Holloway of Montett, Mo. was leading in the 20th lap of the 25-lap feature when his engine blew.
When Holloway left the track, that paved the way for Ken Essary of Cape Fair, Mo., to take the lead and he held on for the checkered flag.
