Muskogee, OK (07/17/11) – The 2nd Annual COMP Cams SMP Speedweek rolled into Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma) on Sunday night for the third round of the series, and when the final checkered flag dropped it was John Allen, who had claimed his first ever series triumph
Chad Lyle from Oak Grove, Missouri set fast time in his group and overall in MRW Racing Wheels Pole Qualifying to earn the pole starting spot for the 25 lap, main event with Saturday night’s winner, Johnny Bone Jr., joining him on the front row.
After a few unsuccessful attempts to get the race underway, Bone Jr. jumped to the lead at the drop of the green flag with Lyle, George Martin, and John Allen in tow.
Bone Jr. would quickly motor to a one second advantage by the time that the caution waved on lap 7 for debris. On the ensuing restart Bone Jr. would again stretch his advantage as John Allen moved into the second spot past Chad Lyle on lap 12. The next few laps would see Bone’s lead begin to shrink, and on lap 15, Bone Jr. would retire to the infield with terminal issues as Allen inherited the lead.
Lap 18 would see the event’s final caution flag wave as Allen Chickering detonated a motor down the front stretch. On the next restart the battle for the lead would become intense as Allen grasped to the top spot as Lyle applied heavy pressure. Over the course of the final five laps the duo would battle side-by-side before Allen pulled away on the final lap to take the win by a car length. He was followed across the line by Lyle, George Martin, Brett Hansen, and Kyle Schmidt.
The RacingJunk.com first heat was won by Kyle Schmidt with John Allen winning the MRW Racing Wheels second heat.
The 2nd Annual COMP Cams SMP Speedweek, will take two nights off before resuming its campaign on Wednesday night, July 20th at Valley Speedway (Grain Valley, Missouri) with a $1,500 to win/$125 to start, 30 lap event. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com.
