TULSA, Okla. — Going back-to-back in A-Class at the Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout, California’s Jake Hagopian became a three-time Golden Driller winner Saturday at Tulsa Expo Raceway. Hagopian earned the pole in Saturday’s A-Feature and led the distance. Moving lines around the race’s mid-point, Thornton brought the distance down several times, only to have traffic hand the car lengths back. Cautions during the second half of the feature, the final two saw Thornton and Emerson Axsom both shoot to the cushion while Hagopian continued to hustle the bottom. Never breaking stride, Hagopian used the final three laps to pull a .982-second advantage. Thornton held off the challenge of Axsom and Tim Buckwalter on both restarts to capture second.
