LATE RACE SURGE FROM SOLWOLD GIVES HIM 360 NATIONALS NIGHT ONE WIN!

Anything can happen at Skagit Speedway and on big nights like the first night of the Fred Brownfield 360 Nationals presented by Bob’s Burgers & Brew, it usually does.

With the Sprint Car Challenge Tour in the house for their sixth round of Western Speedweek, it was Jason Solwold taking the lead with two laps to go and running to the win that stunned and thrilled the crowd on hand on Friday night.

Solwold and Max Mittry would exchange the lead a few times on the night. Jason set out to the early advantage before Mittry took the lead from him for the first time on lap 10 as the pair raced through traffic.

They handed the lead back and forth between the two of them before Mittry took firm control on lap 13. Max kept the lead until an open red on lap 28 that set up a green-white-checkered shootout for the win.

Coming to the white flag on lap 29, Mittry missed the entry to turn one and in trying to catch back up to the car, opened the lower lane for Solwold to drive by after the veteran made a perfect corner. Solwold would lead lap 29 and 30 for the victory, securing a top four in points run for tomorrow’s finale.

Mittry ran second while Eric Fisher was third. Levi Hillier is the top points man and will be joined by Solwold, Mittry and Trey Starks. Justin Sanders and Justyn Cox set quick time in split qualifying. Heat wins went to Levi Kuntz, Seth Standley, Devon Borden, Chase Goetz, Corbin Rueschenberg and Dawson Hammes.
