MUSKOGEE, Okla. (August 1) - On August 1 the Race Brothers Show-Me Racin Series boys were in action in Muskogee, OK at Outlaw Motor Speedway. The stands were packed full of fans that were ready to see an exciting night of racing. In the end the 55 of Ken Essary would be the one come home with the win.
Twenty-three cars would fight their way through the three qualifying heats. The first heat was won by the 26 of Burl Woods. The second heat went to the 33 of Rick Lebow. Chuck Comer in the 83 took the win in the third and final heat of the night.
After a brief intermission it was finally time for the features to get underway. The 59 of Jimmy Bellamy and the 83 of Chuck Comer would set the pace to the green. The flag flew and it was off. On lap one the 5 of Leslie Essary would sail through the air on the front stretch bringing out the first caution of the night. Only one more lap would be completed before the 59 of Jimmy Bellamy would wreck hard on the back stretch bringing out another caution. The green flew again and the 83 of Chuck Comer was in the top spot but the 21 of Jordan Holloway was on his bumper. The 21 overtook the lead, when Chuck Comer was forced to the pits with a tire issue, and was pulling away from Burl Woods in the 26 and the 33 of Rick Lebow who were fighting for the second position. Lap fourteen brought out the third caution of the night for the 16 of Jeff Johnson who spun in turns three and four. Holloway was still in the lead but he now had Lebow, Essary, and Woods right behind him all vying for the top spot. The race went green and the 55 of Ken Essary flew to the front. It was going to be a fierce battle to the finish between the 21 and 55, but on lap twenty-one Holloway's motor would blow making it a four lap dash to the checkered. The Flyin' Farmer would manage to hold off the 33 of Lebow and the 56 of Ward to take the win. The top five were Ken Essary in the 55, Rick Lebow in the 33, Conner Ward in the 56, Kevin Henson in the 15, and Don Cloyd in the 30.
The Race Brothers Show-Me Racin Series next scheduled event was on Aug 16 at Springfield Raceway, but this event has been rescheduled for Sept 13, due to the rain forcing a large number of specials at Springfield Raceway during the month of Aug.
