TULSA, Okla. (June 7, 2024) - It was a night of firsts for sprint car racer Wout Hoffmans.
Racing in his first non-wing sprint car event, Hoffmans drove to his first career sprint car victory with the Ortco, Inc. United Sprint League presented by Same Day Auto Repair Friday at Tulsa Speedway.
Starting on the pole next to defending USL champion Johnny Kent, Hoffmans fell in behind Kent who led the first nine laps. Following a yellow flag restart Hoffmans was able to get around Kent on lap 10 and led the final 20 laps to victory. Kent soon found himself battling with Tim Kent for the runner-up spot. Tim moved into second on lap 28, but Johnny Kent took the spot back on lap 29 leaving Tim with third. Brett Wilson held on to fourth and Jimmu Forrester round out the top five.
Wilson, Tim Kent and Johnny Kent picked up heat race victories.
