I messed up that last restart again like I did last night, but it’s a teaching moment.”įinishing third was Carson Macedo of Lemoore, CA in the Jason Johnson Racing, Albaugh #41. “I watch these guys on DIRTvision every single week and try to learn as much as possible, especially when I’m racing against them.

“Running second against the Outlaws is cool enough, but then to do it two nights in a row is crazy,” said Corey, the son of former west coast sprint car star Ronnie Day. After repairs were made, Day started sixth in the Feature and drove forward to earn his second podium in his third-career start. Contact with Macedo at the start of the DIRTVision Fast Pass Dash sent the #14 flipping before he even had a shot to race for the pole position.

The Clovis, CA native and prodigy of two-time World of Outlaws champion Jason Meyers dealt with his own slice of adversity, too. On Saturday, he took to the PAS 1/2-mile one day wiser and backed up his performance with another P2 effort against The Greatest Show on Dirt. On Friday, he set the record for youngest runner-up in World of Outlaws history at 16 years, 3 months, 27 days. įinishing second for the second-straight night was Corey Day, a teenager who continues to steal headlines across the nation. We deserved this win.” Gravel & Macedo Offered a Season-High Five Lead Changes at Perris. These guys had to strip down the junked car, build this kit car today, and I’m glad I can reward them with a win. “Those cautions were killing me, but it all worked out. “When the #41 slid me like that I was ready to go and I was gonna give it right back at him,” Gravel commented on his battle with Macedo. The Watertown, CT native then survived a green-white-checkered to bank his 71st career win and second of the 2022 season. He and Carson Macedo swapped the top spot on five occasions, including a pair of sliders on Lap 28 as things got heated. To seal the deal on the rewarding comeback, Gravel was forced to manage a race that featured the most lead changes this season. From there, Gravel took the wheel and did what he does best – timing in second, winning the heat, and topping a wild 30-lapper at Perris Auto Speedway. They woke up super early, built this new car, and it all paid off.”Ī 7am alarm clock and all-day effort from Cody Jacobs, Trey Bowman, and Zach Patterson eventually led to the new car being finished just before hot laps. These guys busted their asses today to make this possible. We knew we were fast every night, but the results just didn’t show for it. “I feel like we’ve been in contention to win every race this year but maybe one, so to have a 15th & 23rd following that start to the season was a bit depressing. “This feels really good,” a relieved Gravel said post-race.
