Bryan Hulbert – GARDEN CITY, Kan. (July 3, 2023) Moving Sunday features to Monday, the afternoon make-up features with the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division at Airport Raceway saw Colby Sokol double in A-Class and Non-Wing, while Jude Allgayer captured the Restricted A-Feature.
Turning in a dominating performance in Stock Non-Wing for his second career Dirt2Media NOW600 presented by Hi-Plains Building Division victory, Colorado’s Colby Sokol lapped to eighth during Monday’s make-up feature.
Winning by 6.206-seconds, Sokol took over the point on Lap 11 from Amarillo’s Brayden Kongdara, who slipped to third on the final lap as Jadyn Friesen slipped by for the spot. Kelbie Volkman was fourth, with Trey Zorn coming from 10th to fifth.
Doubling up on his wins and finally adding his name to the list of A-Class winners, Colby Sokol led from start to finish. Taking the white twice after a crash on the original final lap, the restart put 11th-starting Jadyn Friesen on the back bumper of the No. 24s, but Colby was able to pull away by 0.686-seconds through the green, white, checkered finish. Friesen in second was followed by Ace Moore. Looking at third on the restart, Trey Zorn would settle for fourth, with Cole Esgar in fifth.
Finally adding his name to the list of winners in Restricted, Jude Allgayer took over the top spot from sixth on Lap 23 and held off Carson Bolden, who led Lap 5-21 for the win. In the middle of the battle for the lead from the start, Braxton Weger fought his way to the point on Lap 22, but contact with an infield tire rendered steering useless and sent the No. 31bx into the wall. Resulting in a restart with three to go, Allgayer made careful laps around the bottom to hold on for the win over Carson. Third went to Zayden Vasquez from eighth, with Shyla Ernst in fourth. Clawing from 21st, Cash Lacombe completed the top five.
With Sunday’s run of events now made up, attention turns to Monday’s program at Airport Raceway. A field of 107 entries checked in Sunday, with 98 returning on Monday.
