John Rittenoure - TULSA, Okla. (September 26, 2022) - The Complete Well Testing Sooner Late Model Series returns to Thunderbird Speedway on Friday for a matchup with the Texas based Southern Touring Late Model Series followed by a visit to Tri-State Speedway on Saturday.
Last Friday at Thunderbird Speedway Kip Hughes turned back all challengers to pick up his fourth win of the season over Hayden Ross. Friday, the Southern Touring Late Models will be joining the Sooner Series for the Red River Rivalry.
Each sanctioning group will run under their own rules with no mixing of rule packages. Friday’s feature at Thunderbird will pay $3,000-to-win and Saturday’s Tri-State feature will pay $2,000-to-win.
Ross, who currently leads the Sooner Series points standings with six victories also is the current Southern Touring points leader coming into this weekend.
The last the Sooner and Southern late models raced together was in May with Texan winning at West Texas Raceway and Route 66 Motor Speedway.
Saturday racing heads east on I-40 to Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, just outside of Fort Smith, where the Sooner and Southern late models will go head-to-head again in another $2,000-to-win event.
Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with racing slated for 7:30 on Friday and Saturday.

About Sooner Late Model Series
The Sooner Late Model Series was formed in 2016 by Enid Speedway co-promoter Mark Brill. Brill felt there was not many opportunities for late model competitors to race in Oklahoma and the Sooner Late Model Series was formed. Now the series has grown beyond the borders of Oklahoma with events held in the neighboring states of Kansas, Texas and Arkansas as well.
