There's no catching Goodman

Mike Goodman brought a Tulsa-sized whipping down the Turner Turnpike to State Fair Speedway on Friday night.

The Tulsa-based sprint car driver, who also dabbles on the American Sprint Car Series, filled in for Mike Peters and led nearly the entire super sprint feature, at times leading by half a track length. Jamie Passmore and Whit Gastineau had a final shot after a caution on lap 18 of the 20-circuit race, which bunched up the cars for a restart. It was to no avail. By the time the checkered flag dropped, Goodman had pulled away from the field again.

Super sprint driver Chris Burns went into the night leading the division standings, but he had to qualify for the A feature through the last-chance B feature. He had spun out, then black-flagged in his heat race. Burns still managed a sixth-place finish in the A feature.

In the factory stock division, David Rhodes won his first feature of the season, literally driving out of the jaws of Kevin Becker and Steve Clemmons.

Becker and Clemmons had Rhodes flanked on both sides the final two laps. Becker eventually overtook Rhodes for the lead but slid off the top of the track in turn four on the 15th and final lap.

Rhodes moved to third in the point standings. Becker held on to his division lead. Clemmons finished second in the feature and is fourth in the standings.

USA modified driver Stanley Reed Jr. won his second feature of the season, passing Steve Smith on the 16th lap. Reed didn't get far. Rick Goforth and other lapped traffic had Reed boxed in. Reed gave Goforth's car a few bumps in the rear and finally made his way back into the open.

Reed has a 200-point lead in the standings over defending division champion Alan Oliva. Smith, a former multi-time champion in the pro stock class, held on for second place in the race.

Smith did a get a win in the pro stocks, holding off Tony Osborn and Justin Guinn. Points leader Mark Brill finished fifth in the feature.
