**Muskogee, Oklahoma young driver Chad Wheeler put on a GREAT show after starting 5th and passing early leader Terry Phillips and winning the main event, only to have his win stripped because of a rule infraction. He ran a mud plug in his right front wheel and that is a no-no under the Barnett mod rules, so he was DQ'ed after his win, giving the win to 9th starting Richie Tosh.

**The top 5 finishers are locked into Sunday's show and do not have to race tomorrow.

**Jack Sullivan had a killer run from 17th win the C-feature, then from 17th to 5th in the b-main only to drop out of the feature while marching forward.

**We should see another good show tomorrow to lock in another 5 cars to Sunday's $8,000 to win main event.

It was a great night of racing for sure. The A-Main was a little choppy because they had a lot of yellows early. Wheeler had them covered, and that right-front mud-puck rule DQ might be the most ticky-tack DQ I have ever seen. There is no way in this world that that wheel cover helped him win. NONE!

What makes it worse is that both he and Stoval asked the tech crew to check over their cars before racing began and they were ok'd pre-race with the right front wheel cover.

hey cls racer thats a great job of writing and letting us race fans know whats happening there. I was just wondering where were jeremy payne and jeff taylor???
I also agree that was a very bogus dq because by the main event there would have been no mud at car.
I know how much rubber that track takes and its never muddy so other than holding a little heat in during the yellows that mud plug did absolutely no good. And then for the offiacials to tech him and say it was ok to race and then dq him after is not right. thanks for the report and we will expect another good report from you tonight.

Payne and Taylor were reportedly working feverishly to get some Taylor-Shaw cars finished before the holidays and regretably had to skip this show.

**Terry Phillips took the lead on lap 2 from his third starting spot and lead the majority of the main event, until left front suspension damage hampered his efforts and made his #512 car nearly undrivable. He did a great job holding onto it and salvaging a top five finish. Tosh was a solid second at that point and screamed by for the $8,000 feature win.

It really would have been a very intersting race if not for the caution on lap 27. It was the only time the leaders got into lappers, and TP was going to run away with it if not for the breakage. There were guys making moves early, but when it finally rubbered-up, the order was pretty much set in stone.

Good job on the mic all weekend (I still gotta figure out a way to get you to slide in that Brady reference), you're the hardest working guy in (to quote your buddy Teddy) in "show business!"
