After settling for second place to Brandon Jennings in heat race action, Barksdale turned the tables in the 20-lap feature and raced past Jennings for the early lead. It was all Barksdale at that point as he pulled away and raced to his first sprint car win of the year.
Jennings held on to second followed by Larry Neighbors, who was making his first Sooner Series start, in third. Kaden Taylor and Dylan Postier rounded out the fop five.
