Ardmore, Oklahoma – June 23, 2017 - Michael Day took the lead at the start and never looked back in claiming the Sprint Series of Oklahoma IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car Series presented by Smiley’s Racing Products sprint car feature Friday night at Southern Oklahoma Speedway in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Day, aboard his Allard powered ART racing chassis, Rafter P Construction/DGS Motorsports sponsored sprinter started on the pole for the twenty-lap feature and led wire-to-wire to claim his first career SSO victory. “I want to thank my crew as they had the car working perfectly,” according to Day.
Third starting Michelle Melton, who picked up her one and only series victory here in Ardmore last year, held off repeated challenges from defending tour champion Andy Shouse to finish second. Current series point leader Jake Martens and Tristian Oakes rounded out the top five.
The four heat races for the twenty-seven car field were won by Joe Wood, Jr., Cody Whitworth, Melton and Steven Shebester while Sterling Hoff won the “B” feature.
This event was the first of a double-header weekend for the SSO as the tour will now load up and head to Oklahoma Sports Park in Ada for their first appearance of the season on Saturday night.
