South Coffeyville, Oklahoma (07/17/10) – After a week of unbelievably bad luck, Rodney Sanders from Happy, Texas finally got things turned around on Saturday night by claiming the win in the final round of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service at Mid America Speedway in South Coffeyville, Oklahoma.

Rodney Sanders became the fifth different winner in as many nights on the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek on Saturday night after topping a field of 37 competitors, representing eight states. However, the win did not come easy for the Texas driver.

At the start of the race it was Morgan Bagley assuming control of the top spot, which he would hold for the first four laps before Whitey Folk took control of the top spot. Folk would enjoy a comfortable lead for the next several laps as Jeremy Ross worked his way to the second spot. However, bad luck would strike for Ross a few laps later, when his j-bar broke, bringing his night to an end.

As Folk enjoyed his advantage at the front, the driver on the move was sixteenth starting, Rodney Sanders, who was braving the extreme high side of the track to charge through the pack.

A lap 25 restart would see Sanders rocket past Folk on the topside to take the lead. Two laps later Folk would pull to the infield with a broken j-bar.

Sanders would lead the last couple of laps to take the $1,500 win over Rodney Siggs, John Webb, Morgan Bagley, and Johnny Bone Jr.

Allen Chickering from Okarche, Oklahoma claimed the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Championship with Randy Todd, Hunter Rasdon, Rodney Sanders, and Jeremy Ross rounding out the top five.

With the 2010 COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service officially in the history books, plans are already underway for the 2011 edition of the tour, which will be even bigger and better.
