Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (January 3, 2025) To win the 55-lap finale at the Smiley’s Racing Products Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink means you are the champion of the event, and in 2025, that honor will go to the Hyper Racing Outlaw Non-Wing division for the first time, with a pair of Oklahoma drivers bringing the field to the green.

Seeking his 10th career victory in Tulsa Shootout competition, defending division champion, Blake Hahn has earned the pole for the 55-lap feature event, and will be flanked by 2018 WFO Outlaw Champion, three-time Chili Bowl Champion, and former NASCAR Truck Series Champion, Christopher Bell.

Setting up the lock-in drivers for each feature event, 11 drivers are already locked into one or more of Saturday’s feature events, but only one is locked into both stock and outlaw features, and that is four-time Tulsa Shootout winner and defending WFO Outlaw Champion, Emerson Axsom, whose best starting spot will be in EVO Fuel Injection A-Class, where he will lead the field to the green.

Braden Chiaramonte and Kyle Larson are each in a trio of features. Drivers doubling up include Aiden Purdue, Cash Lovenburg, Christopher Bell, Clinton Boyles, Daison Pursley, Matt Carr, Sam Johnson, and Steven Snyder, Jr.

Working through Race 338, Saturday’s program will open with B-Features. Cars are scheduled to be on track at 9:00 A.M., with Opening Ceremonies and the Parade of States tentatively set for 5:00 P.M. (CT). Admission is $20 for the grandstands and $40 for the all access pass.
