ENID, Okla. -- In front of a standing-room-only crowd, Kelly Shryock of Fertile, Iowa, captured the USMTS Southern Series main event on Saturday at the Enid Speedway Park. The eight-time defending O’Reilly USMTS national champion led all 25 laps from the pole position and pocketed $2,000 for his second victory of the 2007 season.

Jeremy Payne of Springfield, Mo., started the Holley “A” Main from the outside of the front row, then spent the rest of the contest unsuccessfully trying to run down the No. 3 Skyrocket of Shryock. Jason Hughes of Colcord, Okla., finished third while Randy Timms of Wheatland, Okla., earned the Olympic Fire Protection Hard Charger honors by racing to a fourth-place finish from 18th on the starting grid. Tim Karrick of Bashor, Kan., rounded out the top-5 finishers.

The action continues tomorrow (Sunday, April 1) for part 2 of the weekend doubleheader with gates opening at 12 noon with racing at 3:30. A top prize of $3,000 awaits the winner of Sunday’s finale.

The Enid Speedway Park is located 2.5 miles north of U.S. Hwy. 412 on U.S. hwy. 81, then 0.5 mile east on W. Oxford (at the Garfield County Fairgrounds). Race day information is available by calling the track hotline at (580) 234-4488 or online at www.enidspeedwayparkllc.com.
