PORT ROYAL, Penn. (June 18, 2022) — Logan Seavey drove by Matt Westfall during the USAC Silver Crown Series main event on the final lap Saturday at Port Royal Speedway to complete a sweep of both USAC Main Events during “Open Wheel Madness”. After winning the USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series feature, Seavey drove from sixth starting position to take the lead from Westfall on 46. After a caution flag Westfall countered by taking the lead back using the bottom of the race track. Seavey stayed closed, and blasting around the top of the race track drove around Seavey for the feature win on the last circuit. Westfall held on for second while Brady Bacon, Dallas Hewitt, and C.J. Leary rounded out the top five.
