Bryan Hulbert – LOGANSPORT, Ind. (September 29, 2023) Putting his right rear on the cushion and letting it dig, Montana’s Cole Schroeder used traffic to his advantage to roll fifth to first for Friday’s A-Class victory in the Dirt2Media Deuces Wild Shootout with the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division.
Win No. 4 in the fourth state and third different time zone this season, it’s the lone Montana racer’s third all-time win in NOW600 A-Class national competition.
Getting to second on Lap 22, his time holding silver was short-lived. Chasing Jett Hays, who had led since the start, the point went the way of Cole on Lap 24. Clear sailing from there, Schroeder rolled ahead by 1.332-seconds.
Jett Hays held on for second over Alec Quiggle. Running second early on, Chase Cabre ended up fourth, with Frank Flud marching from 11th to fifth. Brecken Reese held the final transfer spot into Saturday’s championship event.
Friday’s field saw 105 drivers checking in, for a weekend total of 222 entries among 127 drivers between A-Class and Stock Non-Wing competition. Teams from 19 states and 102 cities took part in prelim night competition.
Looking to Saturday, it will be a new show for teams not already locked in. Times will move up an hour with Hot Laps at 5:00 P.M. and Racing at 6:00 P.M. (EDT). Tickets are $20 for adults, $12 for youth (6-12), and free for kids five and under.
