ALGER, Wash. – For the eighth time in 2022 and the fourth time at Skagit Speedway this year, Trey Starks stood tall in victory lane after another fantastic performance in his family-owned sprint car.
After setting fast time and winning the dash, Starks set out from the pole of the 30-lap, $3,000-to-win Budweiser 360 Sprint Feature event and jetted out to the early lead.
It took little time for Jason Solwold to work into second place, and from there, the chase was on, as Starks brought the pair into heavy lapped traffic early in the contest.
Starks managed to keep a multiple car length lead most of the time among the slower cars, but Solwold would have a few chances to pull even with Starks as his Shaylen Raye Motorsports car was finding great forward drive down low.
Starks would stick primarily to the high side and was stretching his lead when a red flag brought the field together for a lap-26 restart. Solwold gave the leader quite the scare on the restart, actually pulling ahead for the lead for a short run before Starks would reclaim the top spot on the exit of turn two on the high side.
Starks would go on to lead the rest of the way for the win ahead of Solwold, and third place Jesse Schlotfeldt.
Skagit Speedway witnessed Jesson Jacobson winning his first feature in the Sportsman Sprint division on Saturday night. Jacobson led all 25 laps, and was challenged at times by Steve Parker in slower traffic, but never to the point of losing the top spot.Â
Rick Smith has four wins in five main events at Skagit Speedway following his victory at Mid Season Championship night in the Skagit Aggregates Modifieds.Â
Adam Holtrop is now a multiple time feature winner on the year in the Hornet class. Holtrop took over the lead early from Colin Sims and held Mike Mcpherson and Brian Michelson at bay to take home the win.Â
