Saturday night saw Brian Williams of Fayetteville, Ark., take home his second of the season in two different classes at the Tri-State Speedway. Mother Nature upped her game this week with mid- to upper-90-degree temperatures without much rain. As has come to be expected, the track prep crew had the track ready to go at race time with no packing required from the drivers. The track was fast, wide and smooth all night.

The pre-race ceremonies started at 8:02 p.m. with the invocation followed by the national anthem. Heat races were determined by the driver’s draw at sign in. The classes advanced to their features heads up with an invert redraw that determined how many cars would be realigned. At intermission, 50/50 money was given away as everyone had a chance to grab themselves some food items from the concessions along with an ice-cold Pepsi product as previous week’s winners received their trophies and had their photos taken in front of the grandstands.

In the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature, Williams headed to victory lane for the second time this season while Steve Holzkamper of Gentry, Ark., and Brandon Wilson of Fort Smith, Ark., finished second and third. Meanwhile, Daniel Tarkington of Checotah extended his points lead to a 39-point advantage.

The USRA Modifieds took to the high banks last for their feature and Williams picked up his second win of the night over Brent Holman of Rogers, Ark., and Jeremy Vaughn of Pocola in third place. George Martin of Fort Smith, Ark., retained the points lead but saw it shrink to just 15 points.

The next event for Tri-State Speedway will be a special Thursday, June 28, event featuring USRA Modifieds racing for $1,200 to win. After that, it will be the 47th Annual Firecracker Spectacular and 6th Annual Curtis Tennant Memorial featuring a topless Out-Pace USRA B-Mod special on Saturday, June 30.
