by John Rittenoure - ENID, Okla. (September 11, 2021) - Kip Hughes took advantage of a lap 6 restart and bolted into a lead he would never give up to win the Complete Well Testing Sooner Late Model Series feature Saturday at Enid Speedway.
The evening started with a beautiful tribute to 9-11 and the 13 servicemen who lost they lives recently in Afghanistan. All 76 racers in the pits paraded around the 3/8’s mile oval carrying American Flags and were joined by a large number of area fire trucks.
When the CWT Sooner Late Model feature got underway to close out the night, Gary Kilbourn jumped into the early lead over a 22-car until a yellow flag waved on lap 6. Hayden Ross pulled up on the outside of Dustin Allen as the two roared down the front stretch on the top edge of the track. The two made contact and Ross spun approaching turn one just missing the turn one guardrail. Ross managed was able to restart from the rear of the field.
On the restart sixth place Hughes caught the field napping. The series points leader gunned his late model around the top five, including leader Kilbourn, out of turn four and crossed the start-finish line with the lead. From that point on it was a different race with Hughes setting a fast pace on the way to his seventh victory of the season.
Kilbourn fell back and became involved in a late race crash. Ross McCarthney moved into second and closed on Hughes at one point. But the challenge was short lived. Troy Bynum raced past Darren Moses to finish third and Ross worked his way from the back of the field to finish fifth behind Moses.
Joe Adams and JD Choate battled for the lead in the Ok Factory Stock feature. Adams led early before Choate took over. Adams was able to retake the lead late in the race for the win.
Race Elliott was able to hold off dad, Robert Elliott to win the Sport Mod feature. Robert almost grabbed the lead away when the two encountered a lapped car. However, Race maintained the lead and went on to victory.
Dylan Whitley outran Makayla Rauschenberg to win the Hot Shot feature.
