Meanwhile, Frank Flud won the Stock Non-Wing and Winged ‘A’ Class Sooner 600 Week titles and Daison Pursley was crowned the Restricted ‘A’ Class champion of the inaugural Sooner 600 Week, which featured six races – all co-sanctioned with the Driven Midwest NOW600 Sooner Region – at four tracks in nine days.
Hollan took advantage of drawing the pole position for the Stock Non-Wing main event, but it wasn’t easy as Flud maneuvered from fifth to the runner-up result. Chris Cochran placed third with Holden Anderson fourth and Dillon Conrad fifth.
Cochran, Cody Carter and Weston Miller were the heat race winners.
Newell also duked it out with Flud for the Winged ‘A’ Class main event before scoring the win. Phillip Fessler rounded out the podium as Alison Slated placed fourth and Brandon Boggs maneuvered from 12th to fifth.
Flud, Newell and Fessler each recorded a heat race triumph.
