Randy Todd Claims Creek County COMP Cams SMP Cash

Muskogee, Oklahoma (07/15/10) – Before this week, Randy Todd from Lexington, Tennessee had not even seen any of the tracks, where he is competing, but on Thursday night that did not matter as he topped the 30 lap main event in Round #4 of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service at Creek County Speedway.

Despite threatening weather throughout the afternoon and early evening, twenty-nine Open Wheel Modifieds entered the $1,500 to win event. After setting fast time in MRW Pole Qualifying John Webb from Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma started on the pole for the feature with Randy Todd to his outside.

The first attempt to get the race underway would be nixed as several cars spun in turn one. The field lined up for a complete double file restart, and it was Todd who snagged the early advantage over Webb, Steve Lacy, and Brett Washburn. As Todd built a three car length advantage in the early going, the battle for the second spot became red hot as Lacy and Webb began to battle it out.

The second and final caution of the event flew on lap three as Alan Sharpensteen and Tony Anderson tangled in turn one. Both drivers would be able to continue as the joined the back of the pack.

On the ensuing restart, Lacy jumped to the second spot as Webb began to fade with Matt French working his way up to the third spot. By lap ten the leaders were catching lapped traffic, and one lap later French would move to the second spot as he began to reel in the leader.

The 12th circuit would find the leaders in lapped traffic and things began to heat up for the lead. As the race passed the halfway point the top five in the running order consisted of Todd, French, Allen Chickering, Lacy, and Webb. While Todd still maintained the lead his advantage was far from comfortable as French and Chickering were rapidly closing in lapped traffic. Entering turn one on lap 20 Todd would move up the track to work through lapped traffic, and French pulled door to door with him as the pair battled side-by-side for the lead.

Entering turn one on the next lap, the duo would make contact, which opened the door for Chickering to pounce. One lap later the top three would flare three-wide exiting turn four for the lead before Todd jumped back to sole-possession of the lead.

Randy Todd went on to lead the last few laps of the race to claim the win over Matt French, Allen Chickering, Steve Lacy, and Rodney Sanders.
Round #5 of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek will be held at Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kansas on Friday night, July 16th. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com and www.CaneyValleySpeedway.net .
