“The Thriller” proved to be a great name as the night was full of edge of your seat action!
From the ghouls and goblins running around in their costume, to drivers coming to blows over some on-track action after the Feature, to a run from 4th to First in USRA Stock Cars!

Osage Casino & Hotel Tulsa Speedway hosted the United States Racing Association Stock Cars on Saturday night Oct 26th as part of The Thriller - a race, in its third year, on the weekend before Halloween.

Jeff Thompson, Race Director of Tulsa Speedway, invited racers to bring candy for the kids that dressed up for the night’s race. During Intermission, the kids had a blast accepting candy and treats from racers and crew! “We had a great time seeing kids and racers having such a great experience during trick or treating. Next year we look forward to more costumes and another great night of fun!”
