Bryan Hulbert – SAPULPA, Okla. (June 9, 2022) Wrapping up the second night of the 2022 Sooner 600 Week, a field of 112 was on hand with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Division at Creek County Speedway with Frank Flud, Chelby Hinton, Jett Nunley, and Elijah Gile collecting A-Feature wins.

Making it three for four over the two nights, Frank Flud topped the 25-lap A-Class feature. Win No. 15 on the season for the RUJO No. 81; the win is Flud’s 62nd in A-Class competition. Getting the lead from Dominic White on Lap 4, Flud led the remainder of the event. Jackson Frisbie made it to second, with Chris Cochran rolling to the final podium step from tenth.

Denying Frank Flud a sweep of the stock classes for the second night, Louisiana’s Chelby Hinton picked up his fifth career win in Stock Non-Wing. Leading from the third lap on, after making contact with Jackson Kounkel through the first and second turns, Hinton was chased to the finish by Flud. His second podium of the night, Chris Cochran, took the show position.

Making it four wins on the season, Jett Nunley was the class of the field in Restricted competition. Just like Wednesday, the No. 33 was chased to the line by Lathe Griggs. Battling through the closing laps, Scout Spraggins made it to a podium finish.

Making his first win with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Division, Arizona’s Elijah Gile, led start to finish in the Outlaw feature. Johnny Boland grabbed second with Ryder Laplante in third.
