| KILLED IT, AGAIN: Kilgore Dominates Street Stock League at Eldora for Second Career Win April 7, 2021 – The Extreme Savage Racing pilot has done it again. Carl Kilgore took hold of the Chevy Performance Street Stock League field Wednesday night and flat-out dominated it, winning his Heat Race and leading all 20 laps of the Feature to score his second career DIRTcar eSports victory and first of the season. “It’s a blast around this joint because I love bangin’ the boards,” Kilgore said. And “bang the boards” he did, as Kilgore, of Greenville, MS, stuck to the high line throughout the Feature and held off some very tough customers behind him in last week’s winner (and teammate) Keith Hackney and Jesse Wall. The high pressure from the competition behind him reached a fever pitch in the home stretch, as two attempts at a green-white-checkered finish were presented to the field. Wall and Hackney gave it all they had, but in the end, Kilgore prevailed. “We made a mistake on that first one, but luckily we had a caution and was able to re-rack ‘em,” Kilgore said. “We hit our marks for the last two laps and that was all she wrote.” The Chevy Performance Street Stock League is back in action next Wednesday night, April 14, at the Fairbury Speedway – catch all the action live on DIRTVision. Feature (25 Laps) (2 Green-White-Checkered finishes) – 1. 021 – Carl Kilgore [1]; 2. 069 – Keith Hackney [3]; 3. 026 – Blade Kearns [4]; 4. 2 – Jesse Wall [2]; 5. 8 – Tyler Jackson [7]; 6. 53 – Aidan Skraha [12]; 7. 077 – Holden English [8]; 8. 546 – Randy Axner [6]; 9. 39 – Jim Reavis [16]; 10. 30 – Justin Henson [21]; 11. 17 – Brett Rowles [10]; 12. 48 – Grant Parr [22]; 13. 18 – Chase Gilreath [9]; 14. 71 – Daniel Stiffler [17]; 15. 44 – Cody McElreath [20]; 16. 121 – Edward Farness [13]; 17. 6 – Mitch Erickson [24]; 18. 717 – Bobby Rafferty [15]; 19. 23 – Brayden McMahan [14]; 20. 46 – Jonathan Nause [23]; 21. 13 – Payton Gries [18]; 22. 93 – Steve Miskolczi [5]; 23. 260 – Sage Luther [11]; 24. 04 – Josh Dennison [19] BIG BLOCK KING: Seay Nets Fifth Career Tour Victory, Second with Big Blocks in Marathon at Williams Grove With his fifth career Feature victory Wednesday night, Evan Seay is now the all-time winningest driver in DIRTcar eSports Tour history. Seay, of Chesnee, SC, took the lead on Lap 1 of the Feature and never looked back, leading all 50 laps en route to his second Tour win in-a-row – this time, with the VP Racing Fuels Big Block Modifieds. “Coming out on top will definitely help us gain back some of those points we lost with that okay finish at Weedsport,” Seay said. “Hopefully, we can make all the races and get this points title.” Indeed, Seay had an “okay” 8th-place finish in the season opener with the Big Blocks at Weedsport Speedway on March 24 after an early-race incident knocked him to the back of the field. But he completed the charge back to the top-10 and salvaged the evening before losing too many points in the standings. The next week, he put it all together and won from the second row in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Modified Feature at Bristol Motor Speedway. This week, in a similar fashion, Seay held off all chargers from behind to win yet another $250 top prize. Several caution flags turned the race into quite the marathon event, running just a few minutes shy of the time limit by checkered fall. This forced Seay to be on top of his restart game. DIRTcar eSports Tour Season 2 champion Kendal Tucker, of Mt. Airy, NC, ran up front throughout the race and was able to slip underneath Dylan Houser, of Ocala, FL, on the final restart in the closing laps to claim another runner-up finish. While they aren’t chasing points titles in Season 3, both drivers looked hungrier than ever for good points finishes with their relentless chase of each other in the back half of the race. The DIRTcar eSports Tour resumes racing next Wednesday night, April 14, with a stop at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, racing the Drydene Pro Late Models – catch all the action live on DIRTVision.
