Roger Crockett lost a tire and won his first World of Outlaws feature all on the last lap of Saturday night's World of Outlaw Sprint series race at I-94 Speedway. The Medford, OR wheelman who'd recently been selected to pilot the number 82 Blazin Racing, Buffalo Wild Wings entry for the remainder of the summer, rewarded those that had faith in him by parking it in victory lane. Crockett had been building a name for himself in the Lucas ASCS Northwest Sprint Series for years and had been dominant in doing so. He's racked up numerous point championships with ASCS and tracks in his geography and while he may be a known quantity to many diehard sprint fans, Saturday's win perhaps completed his introduction to the rest of DIRT nation. Congrats Mr. Crockett on your first WoO Sprint victory and on being named our TDN Driver of the Week!

Honorable Mentions:
Casey Roberts:
Mr. Roberts had himself a fantastic weekend on the Lucas tour this past Friday and Saturday. He came in 4th at Cherokee Speedway and the following night took the checkers at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, TN. Roberts inherited the lead on lap 34 from Scott Bloomtuist who had a flat tire. The great weekend should surprise no one who follows Super Late Models closely, Roberts won a World of Outlaw Late Model tilt in Volusia back in February and has several regional series points champions down south on his resume.
Danny Holtgraver:
Came up with a huge $10,000 win at Eldora Speedway to kick off Ohio Speedweeks on Saturday night. The 24 year old Pittsburgh native held off a furious charge from Dale Blaney in the closing laps to earn his first of what will likely be several Eldora victories in his career.You can red the full story here:

Matt Sheppard:
Ever since Matt had an unfortunate scoring error at Canandaigua a couple weeks back, he'd been driving like he'd had something to prove. And it manifested itself into a great week. Superman Sheppard took the SuperDIRTcar Series "Dirty Jersey 60" last Tuesday, but he didn't stop there. A win at Brewerton at Friday and two top 5's at Canandaigua and Utica-Rome on Sunday cemented his place among our honorable mentions.Races to Watch This Coming Week:
