Fresh off a pair of USRA American Racer Modified Series shows last weekend in Oklahoma and Texas, this weekend finds the series once again in the Sooner State. Friday originates from Outlaw Motor Speedway located just outside of Muskogee and Saturday shifts to Tri State Speedway in Pocola.

With a pair of top ten runs last weekend, Spiro's Sam Osman currently is holding down the fourth position in the points standings. The two events this weekend will be the closest all season to his home.

“We started off pretty slow,” said Osman. “We came back home and raced locally. We figured some things out and made some gains. It's a different caliber running a series, but we are getting there.”

He has been on both tracks earlier this year as well. Osman has knocked down a pair of top-tens at Tri State Speedway and a sixth at Outlaw Motor Speedway.

“We went and won the heat a couple weeks back at Outlaw and had a good night,” Osman added. “At Tri-State we just never seem to have any luck. Hopefully this weekend we will be a little better. I'm close with Tyler Wolff and he's really helping on setup things, so it's been a little better.”

His path to where he is currently is a little out of the norm. Prior to starting again in 2023, Osman last competed in 2013.

“I raced right out of school and then took ten years off. I looked at the HMT and ARMS. The ARMS series was closer and it had more familiar tracks. It just seemed to fit me. We wanted to run a series, and I have to thank Brett and Tyler Wolff for all of their help to keep me going.”

Friday at Outlaw Motor Speedway, the track will honor two legends of the sport: Dan Leatherman and Bob Disheroon. Both men have been instrumental not only to the track, but racing in the region. They are naming the event “The Icon.”

Saturday at Tri-State Speedway is a rescheduled date from earlier in the season. New owners Jake and Kelsie Davis are in their first full season at the helm, and have added more than $2,500 to the standard event purse.

The show will pay $2,500 to win and $350 to start. The USRA USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports is thrilled to bring USRA Modified racing to both tracks this weekend.

For those unable to be at the track, both races this weekend will be live on racindirt.tv.
