40th annual Smiley’s
Racing Products Tulsa
Shootout Shatters Entry
Record
Bryan Hulbert – TULSA,
Okla. (December 31,
2024) Only hours away
from going green with
the first rounds of
FuelTech Heat Races at
the 40th annual Smiley’s
Racing Products Tulsa
Shootout powered by NOS
Energy Drink, the
entries have been
counted, and a new
record has been
established.
Shattering the 2024 mark
of 1,752 entries
received with 1,698
confirmed, the 2025
event had 1,855 entries
turned in, with 1,798 of
those drawing in for
competition. Making up
those entries are 762
drivers from 438 cities
and five countries (USA,
Aust., Neth. S. Africa,
UK) driving a total of
1,015 cars.
Working through 151
rounds of practice that
began Tuesday at 8:00
A.M. (CT), the first 28
races of the week will
belong to the WFO Winged
Outlaw Micros. 389
races, consisting of
3,734 green flag laps,
will be contested
through January 4.
“When we restructured
the Shootout in 2011, we
went from having 23
classes and over 1,000
entries to eight
divisions, and I think
we may have had close to
700 entries that first
year, so you can imagine
I was nervous if this
thing was going to take,
and thankfully it did,
and has become bigger
than I ever imagined,”
stated event founder,
Emmett Hahn.
“Sitting here now
closing in on 2,000
entries is something I
never dreamed of,
especially since we
changed the classes a
few years ago to just
Micros and brought it
down to six divisions."
Asked about how
international the event
has become, Hahn
replied, “You know, that
kind of like the car
count. I never imagined
we’d have drivers from
the United Kingdom,
South Africa, or the
Netherlands racing the
Tulsa Shootout. It just
shows how big Micro
racing has become around
the world.”
A major shot to the
Tulsa economy during an
otherwise down time of
the year, the 40th
annual Smiley’s Racing
Products Tulsa Shootout
powered by NOS Energy
Drink is estimated to
bring over $10M into the
local economy over the
next week. This ahead of
the Chili Bowl
Nationals, which takes
place January 13-18,,
and is set to bring an
estimated $40M in
additional revenue for
area businesses.
With drivers aged six to
nearly 80 years old, the
Tulsa Shootout covers
generations of talent
with one of the most
diverse fields in
racing.
Current stars like Kyle
Larson, Christopher
Bell, and Kyle Busch are
in action, and while
Busch and Larson bring
NASCAR credentials to
the mix, they will be
joined by their sons,
Brexton Bush and Owen
Larson.
With many eyes on the
NASCAR stars, local
champions like Blake
Hahn, who has won the
event nine times, and
Frank Flud, a four-time
Golden Driller
recipient, should never
be counted out.
Racing on Tuesday,
December 31, is set to
get underway around 7:00
P.M. (CT). Racing
January 1 through
January 4 goes green at
9:00 A.M. (CT) daily.
Saturday’s opening
ceremony is TBD based on
the run of the show but
will be before Last
Chance Qualifiers and
A-Features.
Tickets per weekday are
$15 and $20 on Saturday
for the grandstands. All
access passes are $30
per weekday and $40 on
Saturday, and they give
access to the pits.
