TULSA, Okla. — Lifting the curtain on the Milestone Home Service Co. Outlaw Nationals presented by S2FTV.com a little later than originally scheduled, the nature-delayed start to the showcase of speed was well worth it as Brant Woods, Kyle Hooper, and Lathan Knott captured wins during Engler Machine and Tool Preliminary Night competition.
Battling tooth and nail in traffic just past the mid-point of the Outlaw feature event, Brant Woods was under fire as Jeffrey Newell and Steven Snyder, Jr. set sights on the No. 83. Sneaking by for the point, Newell wasn’t able to hold it as Woods raced the top back to the lead.
Slipping to third as Snyder took advantage of the back markers, the Hyper No. 21 began his assault with just under five laps to run. Going slide-for-slide with the Culligan No. 83, Woods answered at every turn.
Taking a wild shot coming to the white flag, Snyder ended up in the left side of the No. 83, with Woods able to keep rolling while Steven came to a stop.
Moving Newell back into second, two attempts at the finish did not bear fruit for the No. 12, as Woods captured his fifth career NOW600 National win, and first in Outlaw competition. Moving up eighth spots, Joe B. Miller made it to third, followed by Chelby Hinton from 13th. Colorado Colby Sokol rounded out the top five.
Surviving a myriad of cautions to win his first Dirt2Media NOW600 feature, Kyle Hooper became the 69th different winner in Restricted competition. Feeling pressure a couple of times in traffic, it was always short-lived as T.J. Stark chased to the finish. Cale Lagroon crossed third, with Brody Bridgeman rolling 14th to fourth. Braxton Flatt finished fifth.
Claiming his first NOW600 Junior Sprint win, Lathan Knott led flag-to-flag.
Chased most of the feature by Ryker Jones, who was in striking distance most of the time, a battle with Levi Ballard would move the No. 22 up the track, and allow Ballard and Collin Pruitt to race by off the final turn. Jones finished fourth with Lee Moses in fifth.
