ALGER, Wash. (June 22, 2023) — Night number one of the 51st Annual Jim Raper Memorial Super Dirt Cup is in the books and if the next two nights are anything like tonight, we are in for a big treat!
In the 410 division, the Clovis California teenager Corey Day parked it in victory lane as his hot streak continues. Day took the lead on lap 19 after fighting with Tanner Holmes in a race that after an initial caution on the opening start went flag to flag. Holmes and Day fought tooth and nail to both get to the front of the field, coming from eight and third respectively, however, it all came down to lap traffic for Day. While fighting for the lead in traffic Day threw a slider going into three on Holmes right as Holmes bounced the car off the cushion in turn four allowing Day to take the lead on lap 19.
While the battle for the lead was heating up, so was the battle for the remaining two podium spots. Shane Golobic and Zeb Wise went to war, moving up through the field. Wise worked his way from a 12th-place starting spot to finish third while Golobic moved up from fifth place to second.
In the Northwest Focus Midget Division, Alex Peck went wire to wire never moving from the top spot for his first win of the year at Skagit Speedway. Peck never seemed to put a foot wrong as his car flew around Skagit Speedway while drama happened behind. While battling for third place Nick Evans and Jared Peterson made contact resulting in Peterson on his lid and both cars done for the night. While Peck locked it down out front, Ross Rankine and Jeff Westergard found their way back into victory lane coming home second and third.
