by John Rittenoure - HUTCHINSON, Kans. (July 17, 2021) - Kip Hughes is probably glad Saturday’s Complete Well Testing Sooner Late Model Series feature ended at 25 laps. The three-time defending champion started front row outside and raced to victory for the fifth time this season. However, had the race run much longer the outcome might have been different.
Hayden Ross started on the last row of the 20-car feature and put on an epic charge through the field. The series points leader needed to make up for a bad performance in heat race action on Friday and he did. Passing car after car, Ross advanced 19 positions on the Kansas State Fairgrounds half-mile and was behind Hughes in second as the checkered flag fell.
Ross was followed by Damian Patocka who advanced 10 positions to finish third. Kaleb Roach came from 18 spots back for fourth, Dusty Leonard was a victim of the battle up front and fell to fifth at the finish.
Saturday, July 26, the Sooner Late Models are invited to race in a non-point event at Enid Speedway. The next points race is back at Enid Speedway on August 7.

About Sooner Late Model Series
The Sooner Late Model Series was formed in 2016 by Enid Speedway co-promoter Mark Brill. Brill felt there was not many opportunities for late model competitors to race in Oklahoma and the Sooner Late Model Series was formed. Now the series has grown beyond the borders of Oklahoma with events held in the neighboring states of Kansas, Texas and Arkansas as well.
