CANEY, Kan. (September 6, 2025) – In the past Ty Hulsey has not had the best of luck at Caney Valley Speedway. And starting 12th in the Ortco, Inc. United Sprint League presented by Same Day Auto Repair A feature on Saturday seemed like a recipe for more of the same.
But that was not the case this time. Hulsey used the low groove to work his way to the front and win his second straight and third USL feature of the season.
“We struggled at Caney the last few times there so last night was one to check off for us,” said Hulsey.
Working through the field was a slow process and several yellow and red flag restarts helped along the way.
“We were green for about the first 15 laps ands I was just picking them up through the middle and the bottom. I think I was up to about sixth before we had a red,” said Hulsey of his climb to the front. We kept having one or two short lap runs with cautions and I kept getting by cars until I was in third.”
Hulsey moved to second and got his chance to challenge the leader in the final six laps. The two raced wheel-to-wheel before Hulsey grabbed the lead finally on the last lap.
“I got to second, we had a caution with six to go that put me behind the leader,” Hulsey said. “He was running the top and I was on the bottom. We were side-by-side for three or four laps and I cleared him on the white flag lap.”
It was the sixth USL career win for Hulsey. Daniel Shaffer had to settle for second, Tyler LaPointe finished third with points leader Tanner Conn and Ryker Pace rounding out the top five.
