Special to the Phoenix

OKTAHA — It was more of the same for Greg Skaggs in racing at Outlaw Motor Speedway here Friday night.

The Bixby driver, having a season like no other racer in the brief six-year history of the three-eighths mile clay oval, captured his 15th feature win of the year. And, like his last eight wins, he made it look extremely easy.

Skaggs, starting on the inside in row six, was running second by lap three and after a restart on lap four realigned the field and took him back to fourth, he was quickly challenged for the lead a lap later.

He got the outside advantage over Muskogee’s Jared Havens completing lap five, floating to the high side in turns one and two. Exiting into the back straight-away, he powered his way to the lead and never looked back.

Havens was a distant second while Locust Grove’s Jeremy Ross was third.

Skaggs has failed to win the feature only twice in the last nine weeks of racing. In one of those races, he was leading with one lap to go when he had to pull into the infield with mechanical problems.

“I’m running out of things to talk about,” said track manager Eric Shannon of his interviews of Skaggs during the trophy presentations. “He is so hot. His consistency is just beyond belief. What he has done this season might not be duplicated anytime soon.”

In the last race of the evening, 85 rookie drivers participated in the special 100 lap Enduro race. It started well past midnight.

Just when four cars emerged as the front runners in the feature, disaster struck when race leader Jason Ward and the three cars chasing him got together and slammed into the buffer protecting the light pole going into turn three.

Two of the four cars were towed to the pits — Ward and Andy Simmons’s racer — while Darin Austin, of Muskogee, and Russell McClain, of Chouteau, remained in the race, but restarted at the back of the pack.

The accident opened the door for Checotah’s Kay Burris and Chouteau’s Brandie Levassuer to battle for the checkered flag. Levassuer eventually prevailed, winning her fifth feature of the season and first since May 23.
