Emerson Axsom Wins Tulsa Shootout Stock Non-Wing Nail-Biter
Emerson Axsom held off Alex Bright by 0.052-seconds to win the Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout Stock Non-Wing main event.
Collecting his second Lucas Oil Tula Shootout win, Emerson Axsom added Saturday’s Stock Non-Wing Golden Driller to his collection.
"It couldn't feel any better. I can't thank everyone enough," Axsom said in victory lane. "Alex ran me clean, so I can't thank him enough for that. I'm pumped."
Champion of the Outlaw division in 2020, Axsom set a torrid pace from the start.
With traffic slowing him little, it was late-race restarts that put Alex Bright on the back bumper of the No. 13a. Biking off the cushion with a couple of laps to run, Bright took a shot, but could not clear the Indiana racer. With one final run off the final turn, Bright gave it everything he had but missed the win by 0.052-seconds.
"I see my guys giving me the big lead sign and saying, 'bottom, bottom, bottom.' I just committed to the bottom," Axsom said of the battle with Bright. "I knew if I hit the bottom and didn't make a mistake, I'd be alright. I did make a mistake and he almost got me."
