The WESCAR OK Tire Challenge Series live on 99.3 the DRIVE takes the green flag to start the Competition Automotive 100 at PGARA only to see 4 laps in the book before the yellow caution flag fly as the #94 Fireball Corey Price spins. The race is restarted and on lap 11 the caution flag flies again as #38Thomas inside #52 Grimard coming off turn 2 touch together as Grimard gets loose on the outside groove. The cars behind all check up but are not able to brake fast enough and the #22 McComber is launched down the back straight on his side after being propelled forward into a car from the #18 Thomas car. The ensuing pileup involves #18 Korbin Thomas , 0 BrettYoung, 22 McComber, 38Lee Thomas, 94 Corey Price , 23 Peter Ernst and 52 Garnet Grimard.

The race was then red flagged while the Kevin McComber is removed from his #22 and taken to the infield care center to be checked over. He checked out okay and continued to watch the race from the pit area.

A restart of the race sees #23 Ernst still in the pits with the crew working quickly to get him back in the race . The #18 crew gets Korbin Thomas back into the race as the green flag drops with a car missing all of the front fiberglass hood, fenders and nosepiece. Not able to continue are #52 Grimard ,# 0 Young and the #22 McComber.

With # 5 Larson in the lead on lap 18 the powerplant in the #92 McCarthy car shuts down and he coasts to a stop on the front straight bringing out another caution. Gary is returned to the pits on the hook of a towtruck and is parked for the night with the crew not able to refire the engine.

Another restart and they go clean and green with the #5 Ron Larson leading the way and pulling away from the rest of the field with #27 Kunka in 3rd chasing #17 Wilnechenko in 2nd trying to find a way to get around. On lap 61 the last caution of the night flies as #72 in 4th spins as he is tapped from behind by the #94 Price in turn 3 . He doesnŐt touch anything as he slides down on to the grass on the inside of the turn.

The restart has the #17 and #27 in 2nd and 3rd close behind the #5 Larson reducing the half lap lead he had developed. As the green flag drops #5 Larson gets a good start and starts to build the lead he had when the 4th caution flew. The last 35 laps is lead by #5 Larson and is not challenged, but behind the leader close racing continues by the #27 and #17 for 2nd and 3rd. Larson is almost half a lap ahead of #17 in 2nd when the checkered flag flies for the #5 Ron Larson in the Turtle Wax car and he wins the WESCAR OK Tire Challenge Series Competition Automotive 100.
