rebelracewriter Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Shouse Sails to Fourth Sprint Series of Oklahoma of the SeasonAda, Oklahoma – June 24, 2017 - Defending tour champion Andy Shouse took the lead on lap two and never looked back to claim his third victory of the season as the Sprint Series of Oklahoma IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car Series presented by Smiley’s Racing Products made their first appearance of the season at Oklahoma Sports Park in Ada on Saturday night to wrap up a double-header weekend for the series. On the benefit of the redraw, Chad Koch and Chris Kelly started on the front row for the twenty-lap feature and it was Koch who quickly jumped into the lead as the green flag fell. Fourth starting Shouse quickly moved into the runner-up position and was on the leaders rear bumper entering turns three and four. Shouse would get a run underneath Koch exiting turn four to take the lead on lap two and quickly opened a half-stretch lead. The leader encountered slower traffic on lap ten, allowing Koch to cut the deficit in half. With three laps remaining, Shouse followed a slower car for the remaining laps allowing Koch to close to three car lengths. That was as close as he would get as Shouse would hold on to claim his fourth career series victory. Eighth starting Gary Owens came home third while Kelly and Lewisville, Texas driver Chip Graham rounded out the top five in the caution-free feature finale. The four, eight lap heat races for the twenty-six car field were won by Loyd Clevenger, Shouse, Koch and Jake Martens while Michelle Melton controlled the twelve lap “B” feature.
