Brent Holman won the USRA Modified main event on Saturday, May 19, at the Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla.


The Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series continued this past Saturday night at the mighty Tri-State Speedway. Low 90-degree temperatures greeted the fans as they arrived at the track. Even though some other tracks had to cancel or postpone due to rains during the last part of the week, the track in Pocola, Okla., received no rain and the track prep crew had a wide and fast track ready for the drivers and fans.

At intermission, 50/50 money was given away, as well as a free $100 gift card from Philpot’s Car Care Center that was given to the oldest male service member in attendance to honor Armed Forces Day. Everyone had a chance to grab themselves some food items from the newly reconfigured concession along with an ice-cold Pepsi product. They also grabbed TSS T-shirts and tornado relief concert shirts from the T-short booth and registered for the race-ready Super Stock that will be given away at the end of the season.

The second main event of the night featured the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods where Daniel Tarkington of Checotah crossed the finish line first ahead of Pocola's J.R. Owen and Lonny Flanagan of Rudy, Ark. Meanwhile, Dean Green of Siloam Springs, Ark., is at the top of the points standings by a 27-point margin.

The USRA Modifieds took to the high banks last for their feature. Brent Holman of Rogers, Ark., crossed the line first. George Martin of Fort Smith, Ark., took home second place and Kayden Menasco of Muldrow was third. Holman, by only 16 points, is the points leader going into next Saturday night.

The next event for Tri-State Speedway will be on Memorial Day Weekend with racing on both Saturday and Sunday, May 26-27. The track will be points racing in all classes on Saturday night and non-points, added money racing on Sunday. Then on June 2, the ASCS Sprint Cars return to the famous high banks with points racing in all regular classes, too.
