Rodney Sanders Races to $3k Payday at SOS; Royal Purple Up Next

Happy, Texas (11/05/13) - Rodney Sanders turned a rare start in a Sport Mod into his seventeenth triumph of the 2013 season over the weekend with a victory in the inaugural Scotty "Bobby" Lawson Memorial at Southern Oklahoma Speedway (Ardmore, Oklahoma).

The $3,000-to-win event drew a solid field of 40 entries to the 3/8 mile oval, and in preliminary action Rodney charged from the 7th starting spot to score the win on Friday night in the David Tanner owned, #20 Wichita Tank entry, which locked him into the 11th starting spot for Saturday night's finale.

Despite starting deep in the pack Sanders wasted little time working his way through the field, and he would take the lead by lap 20. Once out front he never looked back on his way to the win, which came over Bo Day, Travis Johnson, Dustin Robinson, and Chad Jones.

Full results from the event are available at www.SouthernOklahomaSpeedway.com .

Sanders will not be racing anywhere this weekend, but rather turn his attention to the 7th Annual Lecolift Texas Winter Nationals presented by 4s Motorsports at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas), where he will compete in his #20 Swan Energy/Kimrad Transport/ MB Customs/Geddes Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified. The weekend, November 14th-16th, will be highlighted by a $2,000-to-win affair on Thursday, a $3,000-to-win race on Friday, and a $4,000-to-win event on Saturday.

Jake Griffin Makes History in All American 400 Weekend at Nashville

Quincy, Illinois (11/05/13) – Jake Griffin put a wrap on his 2013 season over the weekend with a trip to the Fairgrounds Speedway in (Nashville, Tennessee) for the 29th running of the All American 400, where he competed in the Pro Late Model division.  As has been the case in several events during the 2013 season the 14-year-old Griffin changed the history books with his performance.

Jake began his weekend with a historic feat as he qualified on the pole for the 100 lap finale in his #08 Jake Griffin Racing/P.A.D.D./McPike's Pawn Shop entry. Track officials would later confirm that by earning the pole at 14-years-old he was officially the youngest driver to ever start on the pole of a Pro Late Model event at the facility.

In the 100 lapper Griffin battled in the top five throughout the race, but restarts would present struggles as he would lose track position on multiple occasions.  Despite the struggles he still managed to race his way to an impressive 5th place finish at the checkered flag.

"Once again I just had an awesome car," an elated Griffin commented after the race.  "My crew and my sponsors have worked really hard for me this year, and it was exciting to end the season on such a high note."

The team now turns their focus to the 2014 campaign as Jake Griffin Racing is currently seeking additional sponsorship to expand their schedule for next year.
