For Schudy, it was his first MWRA win since 2020 after twice finishing second in this USAC non-winged series in 2021. While Kory’s big W would also represent the fifth different winner in the MWRA this season in the five races run so far.
Action throughout the field on this night led to other impressive results as well. Olathe driver Zach Clark in the #26 would have a great night with the MWRA, winning his heat by outlasting defending champ Burks and then besting the Sheriff for the final podium spot after also challenging Smith for the runner-up position for a career best third place run with the MWRA.
Overland Park teenager “Cool Hand Luke” Howard also had a career night racing with the MWRA running in the top five. The 17 year-old drove for the first time the car number #2h, painted with the legendary Dick Howard’s maroon and gold shield livery, running to his best result so far in this USAC series.
While Kearney’s Zach Saunders in the #69 was relegated to the B Feature after making contact with Wyatt Burks at the end of the third heat race, the former modified winner at I-35 then put on the performance of the night winning the B and then charging up to fifth place at one point in the A before coming home in sixth place, blowing a tire at the finish line.
For his efforts, the other half of the “Zach Attach” (Saunders and Clark) would take home a extra $100 bucks for the Hard Charger award courtesy of Dan Lawson, and Design Source Flooring.
The MWRA is next in action on Saturday night June 19 as the USAC Midwest Series travels to Warrrensburg, Missouri to race at Central Missouri Speedway.
