POCOLA, Okla.—The third regular night of weekly racing after last week’s rain shortened program certainly was one not to be missed with close to 100 cars on hand. Mother Nature must have thought that she needed to let everyone know that she was still in charge as a few spot showers popped up in the surrounding areas just before race time, but no precipitation fell at the track.

The evening’s racing was the star attraction with three- and four-wide racing all the way through the last feature of the night and two roll-overs, where both drivers walked away uninjured. The pre-race ceremonies started at 6:04 p.m. with the invocation and a parade lap with the nation’s colors during the National Anthem. The evening kicked off with the make-up features from the previous week’s rain postponement.

The make-up feature for the USRA Modifieds saw Andy Milliken of Greenwood, Ark., out-pace the field for the win ahead of Chad Wheeler and Brandon Hunter.

There was also over $100 in 50/50 funds given away at intermission, along with the trophy presentations and driver interviews for the previous race program winners.

The last feature of the night was for the USRA Modifieds where Wheeler emerged the victor after a long 10-lap side-by-side battle with George Martin. Chris Lewis finished in third place.
