by John Rittenoure - ENID, Okla. (July 24, 2021) - There was no stopping Danny Wood from becoming the sixth different Sooner Sprint Series winner Saturday at Enid Speedway.
The veteran racer from Norman drove his Midwest Wrecking, Total Trucking sprinter into an early lead and set a fast pace around the 3/8’s mile Enid oval. Austin Shores gave chase but he was soon challenged by Sheldon Barksdale who won at Enid on June 5. Midway through the race Barksdale finally got around Shores and set out after Wood.
In the final laps Wood encountered lapped traffic and Barksdale was able to close some ground. As Barksdale closed in time ran out and Wood crossed the finish line first with Barksdale settling for second. Shores held on to third over Alison Slaton in fourth.
In late model action Mike Roach raced to victory in the 20 lap feature while Dustin Allen and Kip Hughes battled for second. Allen won the runner-up battle and Hughes finished third.
Brian Gritz outran Jason Weber in the sport mod feature. It was his first victory of the season.
JD Choate won for the second time in the Ok Factory Stock main event. Choate won over Dustin Choate.
Nikk Sands picked up a second win on the season in Hot Shot action.
Racing returns to Enid Speedway on August 7 with Sooner Late Models joining the Ok Factory Stocks, Sport Mods and Hot Shots in point action.
