HUMBOLDT — Taking to the track at Humboldt Speedway for the first time in 20 years were winged Outlaw Sprint cars Friday night.
The OCRS sprint cars made the first of two scheuled appearances of the season at the Speedway.
Whit Gastineau found the high groove on the track and followed it to victory in the 20-car feature race. Gastineau is from Moore, Okla.
Jamire Passmore of Rose, Okla., ran second followed by Danny Smith of Sapulpa, Okla., Rafe Essary of Farmington, Okla., and Tim Kent of Bristow, Okla.
Justin Folk and John Allen gave the Speedway crowd what it wanted in the modified feature race. Allen used his pole position to get the early lead. Folk came out of the pack along with Brian Bolin to challenge Allen.
Justin Folk went low and passed Allen for the lead. But coming through lapped traffic, Allen made a spectacular pass for the lead only to watch Folk make an equally spectacular pass to regain the front spot.
Folk outran Allen to the checkered flag. Boolin finished third with Ryan Whitworth in fourth and Travis Smith in fifth.
Jay Lamons Jr. won his third B-mod feature race and was rewarded with a mandatory engine tear down. The engine passed inspection and Lamons got the win.
Levi McGowen took second in the B-mod race. Dalton Kirk, Scott Collins and Jimmie Davis rounded out the top five.
Mark Selsor of Nevada, Mo., claimed his first feature race win at Humboldt this season in the factory stock division. Doug Scism ran second, followed by Tyler James, Blake Davis and Brandon Weide.
Mike Aiello won the pure stock feature race. Jeremy Willard was second and Matt Habiger took third. Brandon Rowland placed fourth and Roger Oswald finished fifth.
Humboldt Speedway features two nights of racing over Memorial Day weekend.
