June 6th, 2020 - 6th Annual USMTS Juggernaut presented by Drive4JRT.com

It was a hot hot night that showcased great racing action in three classes. Here's your Saturday night run down.
Factory Stock saw Cameron, Oklahoma's Wesley Bourne take the win in his Hollywood Motorsports Monte Carlo. After dominating the a majority of the race, Andrew Bohanan ran into some trouble and came to a stop in turn 2. From there it was all Bourne as the win streak by Grant Davis was halted at 2. The story of the night was a three car wreck in the second Heat race saw Chad Abernathy roll on to his side. Chad would get the car repaired and make it out to the A feature starting 14th. He would make it all the way to 5th when the checkered flag waved.
My favorite series on dirt rolled into Pocola and brought the heavy hitters of USMTS with them. Last year's winner Hunter Marriott returned to see if he could go back to back at the red clay track up on the hill. The beautiful Turn 3 sunset wasn't the only thing the stars of the USMTS got to see on Saturday night, as they chased eventual winner Rodney Sanders who took lead and never looked back. It was a milestone night for the Happy, Tx native as he notched his 100th A Feature win.
USRA Bmods! Last weeks winner Daniel Tarkington would start on the pole for the A feature with Cody King to his outside. Cody would take the lead and check out with Neil Johnston trying to chase him down. Cody would go on to get his first Bmod feature win at Tri-State in 2020.
NEXT WEEK! How do you top the last three weeks of racing at The Mighty Tri-State Speedway? Well I'll tell ya what. Late Models! The Dirt Track Bank Cash Money Super Dirt Series brings their traveling road show to the Pocola highbanks. Tentatively Hot Laps at 7 with racing at 730, these times maybe pushed back due to heat and visibility for the drivers as they head down the backstretch.
