THE EVENT
POCOLA, OK (June 28th & 30th, 2018) – Racing action took place at the mighty Tri-State Speedway on both Thursday and Saturday nights. Thursday night action saw the Comp Cams SuperDirt Series Late Models presented by Lucas Oil challenge the high banks along with the USRA Modifieds. Saturday night saw regular racing action during the 47th Annual Firecracker Spectacular and 6th Annual Curtis Tennant Memorial with the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods going topless for a 40-lap $1,5000 to win A Feature.
Mother Nature kept up her mid to upper 90-degree temperatures without any rain at the speedway. Once again, the track prep crew had the track ready to go at race time, with no packing required from the drivers. The track was fast, wide and smooth for both nights of racing action.
The pre-race ceremonies started at 8:06 PM on Thursday night with the invocation followed by the national anthem as several cars presented the nation’s flag around the speedway. On Saturday night, the pre-race ceremonies began at 8”04 PM with the invocation from Vietnam Army veteran, Sonny Stephens. This was followed by a memorial reading in honor of the late Curtis Tennant. Many cars, including his brother, Jeff, took to the track for a parade lap in his honor during the National Anthem performed by Sonny Stephens.
Heat races were determined by the driver’s draw at sign on both nights for the regular TSS classes. The CCSDS Late Models used time trials to determine their heat race starting positions. The TSS classes both nights, except the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods, advanced to their features heads up with an invert redraw that determined how many cars would be realigned. The B-Mods were lined up for their 40-lap $1,500 to win A Feature by passing points from their heat races.
At intermission on Saturday night, everyone hurried to grab themselves some food items from the concessions along with an ice-cold Pepsi product before the huge fireworks salute to America. The 50/50 drawing on Saturday night was held right after the big B-Mod special race. Thanks to our sponsors, Shamrock Bolt & Screw and Midwest Automation, who sponsored both Thursday and Saturday night’s racing action, as well as Merrill Bonding Company on Thursday night.

THE EVENT

POCOLA, OK (June 16^th, 2018) – Saturday night saw not only the return of the Ca$h Money SDS Late Models, but two drivers take home their first trophies of the season at the mighty Tri-State Speedway. Two others took home their second of the season, with one of those winning twice in two different classes. Mother Nature upped her game this week with mid to upper 90-degree temperatures without much rain at the speedway. As come to be expected, the track prep crew had the track ready to go at race time, with no packing required from the drivers. The track was fast, wide and smooth all night.

The pre-race ceremonies started at 8:02 PM with the invocation followed by the national anthem as the top ten point cars from the Malvern Bank Ca$h Money SDS Late Models presented the nation’s flag around the speedway.

Heat races were determined by the driver’s draw at sign in. The classes advanced to their features heads up with an invert redraw that determined how many cars would be realigned. The late model top starting spots were determined by a draw from those drivers during intermission.

At intermission, 50/50 money was given away as everyone had a chance to grab themselves some food items from the concessions along with an ice-cold Pepsi product as previous week’s winners received their trophies and had their photos taken in front of the grandstands. Thanks to sponsors of the Ca$h Money Late Model series, two bicycles were given away to one girl and one boy at intermission.
