Saturday the Sooner Series returns to Caney Valley Speedway for the James House Memorial. The date was originally scheduled for Creek County Speedway but a switch with Caney has moved the Creek County race to September 30.

Sooner Late Model Series
The Sooner Late Model Series was formed in 2016 by Enid Speedway co-promoter Mark Brill. Brill felt there was not many opportunities for late model competitors to race in Oklahoma and the Sooner Late Model Series was formed. Now the series has grown beyond the borders of Oklahoma with events held in the neighboring states of Kansas, Texas and Arkansas
