SAPULPA, OKLA. – Scoring his first victory of the season with the POWRi Lucas Oil West Midget League, Tyler Thomas was the top dog on Friday during night one of the Sooner Showdown at Creek County Speedway.

Points leader Andrew Felker topped Smith Titanium heat one, Thomas drove the BT Machine, Spike/Toyota No. 91T to the win in Keizer Wheels heat two, and Hank Davis won Saldana Racing Products heat three.
