THE EVENT

POCOLA, OK (September 10TH, 2016) – Night number sixteen of weekly racing saw another dominating performance by one driver and four others win their first A Feature of the season. Cooler temperatures greeted the fans for a full night of racing action with 94 cars taking on the famous high banks, Plus, two of the features were 30 laps in length with added money and also featured a mandatory green flag pit stop.

The pre-race ceremonies included the invocation followed by the presentation of the nation’s colors during the National Anthem by 11 cars.

The race program started with heat racing for the IMCA Sport Mods/USRA B Mods, the Pure Stocks, the IMCA Modifieds, the Super Stocks and the USRA Modifieds.

At intermission everyone had a chance to stretch their legs and gett themselves some good food from the concession stand. Another 50/50 winner walked off with over $100 for their winning ticket. There were also some other winners of free tickets to future races. The previous race winners also received their trophies and had their photos taken.
