Week of Speed
Kyle Larson was victorious with the All Star Circuit of Champions, this time claiming round three of Ohio Sprint Speedweek at Wayne County Speedway. Larson, who started eighth on the main event grid, took command officially on lap 13. It was a fifth career victory for Larson during All Star Circuit of Champions competition, his second at Wayne County Speedway. Larson explained in victory lane, pilot of the No. 57 EAGLE, “I just tried to be patient the whole race. I knew we had a really good car.”
Last year’s winner, Jack Dover, paced the field in all 25 laps of Saturday’s main event in his EAGLE at the Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Nebraska. A huge crowd witnessed the closest racing we have seen all year with the Nebraska 360 Sprint Series and the evenings races went away being labeled "slide job city." Dover would get the checkered for his third win of the season with the Series and his seventh of the year. Jack was followed by a string of EMi cars… Jason Martin was second ahead of Ryan Roberts and Cody Ledger crossed the line fourth.
The Southern Ontario Sprints made their second visit of the season to Brighton Speedway on Saturday night. In the 25 lap main event Chris Jones used the outside line to take the top position in his EAGLE supplied by Mike Emhof Motorsports. Jones held on to win for the first time in over two seasons. “There was a fine line around the top and I was able to hold it up there” said Jones in victory lane. “This feels good to win in front of such a great crowd” he added. The win was his first since 2015 and eighth career with the Southern Ontario Sprints.
