By John Rittenoure – ARDMORE, Okla. (June 15, 2018) – Hard luck has plagued Jason Redman through the first five Sooner Late Model Series events this season.
The defending series champion has been dogged by engine problems resulting in two feature DNS’s (Did not start) in the first five shows. Redman logged a 10th, 12th and 15th place finishes in the other three.
Friday at Southern Oklahoma Speedway that string came as Redman outran points leader Eddie Tidwell to the checkered to win the 25-lap SLMS main event.
The win completed a perfect night for Redman who started the evening with a heat race victory. Tidwell settled for second with Mark Harrison, Kip Hughes and Nate Jantz completing the top five.
