Silver edition is almost better than gold. All I can say is you should have been their, what a race.

Over 260 cars to start with, 40 feature races on the final day, the final being decided by one family, on the final lap by what looked like less than an foot. If they tried to duplicate this race it could not be done, one of a kind.

Bryan Clauson starts out the race jumping on the lead and looking strong early, Sammy Swindell takes that lead away and you are thinking 6th driller on the way, not so. Kevin, "the only two time in a row winner" Swindell works his way up from the 10th starting position and makes a move and passes the dad for the lead. At the same time midget driver of the year, Clauson is doing every move he knows to try and get 2nd or 1st back but to no avail.

People were going to the back of the race thru accidents and then finding themselves back in position to race for 3rd or 4th such as Pickens.

I figured no one could make their way thru the pack to the front but it happen with several drivers.

Enough with the talk I could never really express the drama and changes that happen with all that went on so let's just do the video.

Get a drink or something, sit down, here is about 25 minutes of one of the races legends are made of.

Between the dust and the angle we were sitting at myself and Bob Douglas who I say thank you to for the help with the call, both thought Sammy Swindell won so I say sorry in advance. Enjoy.

Thanks Don, Certainly beats waiting a month or two to see what happened. Of course I'll watch Dean and the boys work as well

Thanks, great work, and the Swindells take home another driller. Starting to look like Tulsa is becoming their personal playground.

I got the name wrong. Don is his son this video was from Mike Kraft who is KC Cheeseworks on you tube. Mike tapes a lot of the local midwest races and drivers and post it on you tube. Do a search for his videos and you will be amazed. This is a heck of a lot better then watching it on speed TV who knows when from now.

Great race! Congratulations to Kevin. He's listened to his teacher well.
