Bryan Hulbert – MEEKER, Okla. (March 5, 2022) Wrapping up the 5th annual Spring Nationals at Red Dirt Raceway, two drivers dominated Saturday night with Collinsville’s Kale Drake earning his first career victories in Stock Non-Wing and A-Class, while Jett Nunley made it a weekend sweep of Restricted with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 presented by Hi-Plains Building Division.
Four wins in Restricted coming into the weekend, Drake led start to finish in the Non-Wing A-Feature. In traffic through the closing laps, the race came down to the wire with Drake fending off Blayne Buntin by 0.137-seconds. Anton Hernandez crossed third with Jack Kassik and Trey Robb completing the top five.
Trailing early in A-Class, traffic brought Drake to the back bumper of Chase Brown. Taking the top spot away on Lap 9, Brown fought back the following lap to retake the top spot. Picking through traffic while keeping the No. 26k at bay, the lapped car of Ryan Sullivan made contact with Brown and spun the No. 55 in the third turn. Both drivers had to report to the tail. Putting the lead in Kale Drake’s hands, the view was clean and clear from there. Chase Randall was second, followed by Trey Robb, Blayne Buntin, and Brecken Reese to make up the top five.
His third win in as many races with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 presented by Hi-Plains Building Division, Jett Nunley led flag to flag in Restricted. Scout Spraggins was second again, with Garyn Howard, Lucas Conner, and Brody Brown making up the top five.
Next for the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 presented by Hi-Plains Building Division is Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Okla. on Friday, March 11, and Saturday, March 12.
