Flud, Lucas, and Tyre Take Season Opening Wins At Superbowl Speedway

Bryan Hulbert – GREENVILLE, Texas (February 19, 2022) With a field of 109 entries on hand, the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division kicked off their 2022 season on Saturday night with A-Class, Non-Wing, and Restricted on track.

Earning his first career victory in A-Class competition, Jacob Lucas led from start to finish. Working through slower traffic during the final five laps, Lucas lost over a second on his advantage but would still hit the checkered flag with 0.915-seconds to spare.

Battling into second on Lap 14, Frank Flud held the position to the end with Johnny Boland in third. Ryder Laplante and tenth starting, Brecken Reese, completed the top five.

Going to Victory Lane in Non-Wing competition in 2020 at Superbowl, Oklahoma’s Frank Flud made a repeat trip in the One Way Chassis No. 81. Chasing Battarbees through the closing laps, Flud worked by Karter on Lap 14, then Karson on Lap 18 for his 52nd career victory in wingless competition.

Karson Battarbee held on for second with Karter third. Austin Saunders worked to fourth from 11th, with Anton Hernandez charging through the field after spinning while leading on Lap 2 to complete the top five.

Three leaders through the Restricted A-Feature, the first nine revolutions were dominated by Lawton’s Brody Brown. Caution allowing Jaxton Wiggs to muscle his way into the lead through turns three and four, Wiggs held pace on the field until Lap 16. Moving up half a car width on the track, Midlothian racer Tori Tyer tracked down the No. 71.

Caution coming to the checkered flag, Tyre held her own through the green, white, checkered finish for her first career NOW600 National Tour triumph. Jaxton Wiggs was second, followed by Carson Bolden, Jett Nunley, and Landon Graham to complete the top five.
