Waylon Phillips
Phillips attends Tulsa Shootout at Tulsa Expo Raceway
Embarking on the 40th running of the Smiley’s Racing Product Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink, Waylon Phillips returned to the Tulsa (OK) Expo Center over the weekend in search of his first Golden Driller.
With the massive event drawing over 1,800 entries across six divisions, Phillips had a strong showing on New Year’s Day in the two divisions that he opened the busy week with. He backed up a seventh-to-third showing in his Outlaw Non-Wing heat with a fifth-place finish in his Winged A-Class heat.
In a consolation race on Thursday, Waylon wasn’t able to recover in Winged A-Class D Feature after officials deemed he jumped the start from the pole. A fifth-place finish in his Taff’s Carpets No. 67 entry sidelined his Winged A-Class entry for the remainder of the week.
Aboard his Stock Non-Wing on Thursday, Phillips climbed two spots to finish third.
After turning in a seventh-place finish in his Stock Non-Wing qualifier on Friday, Phillips’ weekend came to an early end on Saturday, as both his Outlaw Non-Wing and Stock Non-Wing entries were eliminated in the B-Features.
