ALGER, Wa. (June 26, 2023) — Justin Sanders scored the biggest victory of his career Saturday night winning the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway.

Sanders held off a later surge by All Star Circuit of Champions standout Zeb Wise for the victory.
Ross Rankine won the Northwest Focus Midget Car Series portion of the program.
