Frank Flud handed A-Class win at Tulsa Shootout following Yantis DQ

TULSA, Okla.—A shakeup in the finish of the JST Motorsports A-Class feature event, Frank Flud was declared the winner after post-race tech revealed the engine and parts in the transmission to be illegal in the No. 4y driven by California’s Jett Yantis.


Issues discovered in post-race tech included:

Illegal head work, with bowl porting over a quarter-inch past the valve seats.
Epoxy on cylinder head imperfections inside the intake port.
Ceramic bearings in the transmission.
The second time in event history that a Golden Driller has been stripped from the on-track winner due to a rules infraction, the win is Flud’s first in A-Class and puts his Golden Driller count to six in Tulsa Shootout competition.

“I don’t want to win it that way, and I hate that it happened like that, but at the end of the day, the rules are there, we all know them, and they have to be enforced, so a thank you is owed to the [Tulsa] Shootout for standing by their rules,” stated Flud.

With Flud moved to the top of the podium, Daison Pursley advanced to second, with Garrett Benson third. Brecken Reese and Jace Park now make up the top five, with K.J. Snow, Keith McIntyre, Jr., Brant Woods, Chase Randall, and Kyle Spence, from 20th, completing the top ten.

The overall competitor count in JST Motorsports A-Class competition reached 495.

The 42nd annual Hyper Racing Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink takes place December 29, 2026, through January 2, 2027, at the Tulsa Expo Raceway, located inside the SageNet Center at Expo Square.
