Although the Triple B Oil Field Services rookie of the year contender started on the pole for the fifteen lap feature and led every lap, it wasn’t without race long challenges from defending series champion Todd Decker as the Edmond, Oklahoma driver used his Panhandle Performance powered Biscuit Built chassis to move into the runner up position from his fourth starting position.

Smith would hold a five car length advantage over Decker for the first couple of laps before the first and only caution of the feature fell when Donnie McConnell, Greg Deterding, rookie contender Zachery Tippett and Tim Ford got together in turn two.

The restart saw Smith continue to set a somewhat comfortable pace while behind him the battle for the runner up position waged with Decker having his hands full with Kelly Cross as the double file restart behind the leader saw both drivers battle side by side for position. Cross’ strong run up front would come to a quick end as he and another driver made contact down the front stretch causing the Amarillo driver to exit the race track while still under green flag conditions.

On lap five it was fellow Triple B Oil Field Services rookie of the year contender Kinzer Edwards turn to join the mix as he got around fourth running Frank Graven and made his challenge for the runner up position.

At the races midway point it was still Smith, followed by Decker, Edwards and inaugural series champion Chad McNamara of Blackwell, Oklahoma, who had worked his way up from his eighth starting position.

Those four drivers would pull away from the rest of the field during the final five laps and with two laps to go, Decker finally freed himself to settle unchallenged in the runner up position and pressure Smith for the lead. But in the end it was Smith as he held on to take his first career series victory by two car lengths.

Edwards claimed the third position as he got around McNamara and Graven, who both finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Graven, Cross and Smith picked up the three heat race victories while Ford wired the field to take “B” feature honors.

The tour will take a week off before hitting the road for a weekend double header on April 15th and 16th as they make their first and only appearance of the season at the half mile Fairgrounds oval at Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Oklahoma. From there they will head east on I-40 and Van Buren, Arkansas and the series first ever appearance at Crawford County Speedway.

Jacob Pirkle of Venus, Texas started on the front row with Jay Sale of Edmond, Oklahoma along side as the field went green with Sale taking the early lead on the first lap. It was short lived, however, as Pirkle took over the top spot coming out of turn two on lap two. One lap later saw Allen, who started third, make his way past Sale for the third position and used the bottom side of the track to begin working his way up to challenge the leader as Pirkle found the top side to his liking.

It stayed nose to tail for several laps before the first and only caution of the race fell on lap seven when Sale went for a spin in turn two.

On the restart it was Pirkle, followed by Allen, Ronny Sigmon, Thomas Tillison, Jr. and Gene Weaver as the two front runners began distancing themselves from the rest of the field.

Tenth starting C.A. Nix began working his way up to the front and by lap ten had worked his way up to the fourth position and began to battle Sigmon for the third position.

But back up front Allen, aboard the David Harrison owned Hughes Racing Chassis began pressuring the leader with two laps to go. Coming down to take the white flag lap, Allen snuck around Pirkle entering turns one and two and out ran him down the back stretch and entering turn three, took advantage of Pirkles slight bobble to secure the three car length victory at the line.

“The top felt better but I thought I could get a good run down on the bottom but just couldn’t get it done down there,” said the former three time series modified north champion. “Once we got up high up there in turn one I felt pretty good from there.”

Sigmon also got around Pirkle on his last lap bobble to finish second while Nix came home fourth and the final automatic transfer spot into Saturday nights feature finale.

In the second qualifying feature it was all Dunn as he took off from his inside front row starting position and wired the field as the feature went caution free. Allen Chickering came home second, a half stretch behind Dunn, while Chad Davis and George White took the four transfer positions into Saturday night.

“I felt very comfortable up there at the top and where I was out on the track,” said done afterwards. “I could kinda see where everybody was so I wasn’t really worried about anybody catching me. I want to thank my dad and crew, Bobby Malchus, Kevin Rowland and Brett Gee as they had this Skyrocket Chassis working great.”

Clonch and Jarod Webb started on the front row for the third and final qualifier with Webb taking the early lead as the green flag fell. One lap was able to be completed before the first of two caution flags of the feature fell when Colt Goodman went for a spin in turn three.

On the restart Webb took off and quickly opened a five car length advantage over Clonch while behind them, Terry Pritchett, Kevin Clement and Patrick Daniels waged battle for the fourth and final automatic transfer position.

Just past the halfway point Clonch, fresh off his victory at the Dirt Track World Championships at Texas Motor Speedway just six days earlier, got a run around Webb exiting turn two and took the lead down the backstretch entering turn three. Clonch looked to be on his way to an easy victory but with two laps to go the final caution of the race fell when Michael McCleskey went for a spin in turn three. During the caution, mechanical gremlins struck Webb causing him to retire from the race and Pritchett inheriting the runner up position.

On the final restart there was no catching Clonch as he led the final two laps unchallenged to take the victory. “I should have heated up my tires earlier because they started off cold and after the first five laps they began to heat up,” said Clonch later. But besides catching Webb, the victor had other concerns. “We lost our right side body panel there and broke a radius rod so I was kinda worried about that. I just wanted to make sure we won this thing so we could get a good starting position for tomorrow night.”

Pritchett held on for second while Daniels and Clement held off a hard charging Mike Dillard the last two laps to secure the final transfer positions.

The eight lap heat races for the 46 car field were won by Pirkle, Dunn, Clonch and Sale.

182 drivers from 12 states have entered the event in advance. Advance driver registration is now over and teams wishing to enter can do so at the track on race night and their parking will be assigned by track officials, based on availability; as the pit capacity of Cowtown is 200 cars for this event.

Advance 2-day grandstand passes are on sale through Thursday, March 4th at the track website and will save fans $5 off of race night pricing.

Due to the reschedule date for this event, the points season for both of the Friday night Go-Karts and the Saturday night classes will kick off the following weekend, March 12-13.

Here’s a quick glance at the revised weekend schedule, with details following below (This is the exact schedule that was originally scheduled on the printed event flyer, just with the date change.):

Thursday March 4 – Practice night for cars competing this weekend only. Parking is assigned for this event, so cars not racing are not allowed on this special practice night. Gates open at 5pm, practice until 9 or 10pm. Main grandstand closed.

Friday March 5 – Complete Midget program including a 30-lap feature. Plus, heats and qualifying features for all additional racing divisions. Pits open at 3pm, Grandstands open at 4pm, Hot Laps at 5:30pm, Races at 6pm.

Saturday March 6 – Complete Midget program including a 35-lap championship feature. Plus, last-chance races and championship features for all additional racing divisions. Fan Fest 12pm-1:15pm, Pits and Grandstands open at 1:30pm, Hot Laps at 3pm with championship races at 4pm.

Here are weekend event details:

The 2nd Annual Cowtown Midget Championship presented by City Vending, National Health Care Advisors and Sunoco Race Fuels will take place this weekend, March 5-6, 2010; and will certainly provide a weekend of wild racing action once again. The full-blown midgets will compete for $1,000 to win on Friday and $3,000 to win on Saturday. Each of their feature events will start 24 cars. The midget portion of the weekend is sanctioned by SMRS/USAC.

The race in 2009 also resulted in the largest field of midgets in the state of Texas in recent memory, as over 40 teams assembled. There are currently 38 midgets registered to compete.

The ASCS2 Series will be on hand to kick off their 2010 season with the Winged Outlaw ‘Multi’ and Non-Winged ‘A’ classes (of what Cowtown fans know as the Winged 600’s, just without wings). With $1,500 earmarked to win for each ASCS2 division, there’s sure to be full fields of top quality cars from throughout the region, as was the case with both ASCS2 events at Cowtown in 2009.

Plus, the first ever visit of the ASCS2 Restricted 600’s will take to the brand new 1/6 mile “Action Track” at Cowtown, with the winner taking home a cool $1,000.

The always exciting Cowtown Modifieds will race their traditional Fast 50 for $2,000 to win and $400 to start (24th). The race will be sanctioned by NCRA, and this is also their season point’s opener. Visit http://www.NCRAracing.org for more info. This is the first ever visit of NCRA modifieds to Cowtown Speedway.

With over $60,000 cash posted for the weekend, fans can expect another great field of cars. Discounted race pre-entry and reserved pit parking space requests are now concluded. Teams can enter at the track on race night and their rigs will be parked by track officials as they see best fit due to the large field of cars entered.

Race fans, you can enjoy the entire weekend’s action by purchasing your 2-day tickets in advance at the track website by 3/4/10 (Thursday). 2-day adult grandstand passes are just $30, a savings of $5 off of race night pricing.

And the extremely popular “Fan Fest” returns to Cowtown Speedway on Saturday, March 6 from Noon until 1:15pm. Ticket holders for that day’s race will be allowed into the pit area during that time to meet with the race teams, get autographs, apparel, pictures and much more. The main ticket booth will be open at noon as well.

An open practice night for all weekend competing race divisions (only) will be held on Thursday March 4 from 5pm-9pm. Concessions and fuel will be available, and pit passes are $20. (The main grandstand will be closed.) Registered drivers are also urged to pick up their registration pay card on practice night to save them time on Friday night of not having to wait in line.

As of Monday morning, here is the latest weather forecast from NOAA:
Thursday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. South southeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.

It will be the series first ever appearance at the ‘lil quarter mile dirt oval near Fort Worth and the first “Lone Star” state appearance for the series since their sprint car division competed at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo back in 2001.

The event will open the second year for the O’Reilly/NCRA Oklahoma modified division where Amarillo driver Gene Weaver took home the inaugural championship and where the average car count for the five races that were held stood at 37 with ten drivers making all events.

More information on the annual “Fast 50” will become available during the next couple of weeks.

Series officials are continuing to work on the 2010 schedules for not only the Oklahoma modified division but all series divisions as well and will be officially released at the series banquet on January 30th, 2010.
