Published July 19, 2008 01:00 am - Skaggs can't be stopped Special to the Phoenix
OKTAHA — It is beginning to look like no one can compete with Greg Skaggs at Outlaw Motor Speedway. The Bixby driver took the lead on lap six from Jeran Frailey and then set sail to his third straight Outlaw Modified feature win in racing here Friday night. It was his track-leading 10th victory of the year. Once Skaggs, who started on the sixth row outside, got around Frailey, he made a mockery of the race until a pair of caution flags with five laps remaining brought the field back to him. The final caution, for Joe Wright’s stalled car in turn two, came with two laps remaining. On the single-file restart, he thundered ahead of Muskogee’s Tate Cole to get an advantage going into turn one. From there, he pulled away from Cole and the field to win with ease. Cole held off Frailey for second and Chad Davis was fourth behind Frailey. Hobby Stock Brian Scroggins held off a furious charge by Dale Richardson to win the feature that was stopped twice for accidents and cautioned five times for four others. The race was halted on lap 11 when Brookin Stephens slammed hard into Jess Simms on the back stretch. An ambulance was summoned for Simms, but he did not require treatment. His car got sideways coming out of turn two in front of Stephens, who had no place to go. The other race stoppage came when four cars got together in turns three and four blocking the track. When everything was untangled, three of the cars remained in the race. No one was injured. Scroggins won his first feature of the year while at the same time denying Richardson his third consecutive win and ninth of the year. The Muskogee driver has been one of the fastest drivers since returning to the track four weeks ago after going on vacation. Richardson, starting at the rear of the pack, was less than a car length behind Scroggins with three laps remaining. But the winner had just enough car to stay in front.
