WEEDSPORT, NY (June 14, 2021) – Defending Weedsport Kartway track champion, Logan Crisafulli, proved the karting feeder system is alive and well at Weedsport after leading every lap of Sunday’s NY6A 600cc Micro Sprint main at Weedsport Speedway.
After finishing second in his qualifying heat race, Crisafulli redrew a front row starting spot and quickly sped to the point in his No. 88 machine.
Crisafulli’s biggest competition came by way of the No. 4S of Johnny Smith. In the closing stages of the 20-lap main, Smith actually managed to steal the lead in lapped traffic, however a caution negated the pass putting Crisafulli back on the hammer for a final green-white-checkered run to the finish.
In the final two laps, Crisafulli again sped away in clean air to earn his first career trip to Victory Hill at Weedsport Speedway over Smith, Nick Groff, Ivan Forney and Timmy Lotz.
The remainder of the top ten found DJ Shuman, Kyle Pierce, James Layton, Brandon Oddo and Jordan Noody.
The NY6A 600cc Micro Sprint tour will return to Weedsport Speedway on Sunday, July 4 for The Port’s next event on the schedule. The night’s racing will see another triple header, featuring the ESS Speed Week finale for the Empire Super Sprints, as well as the return of the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds.
Celebrating Independence Day, a Weedsport style fireworks display will close out the evening.
Tickets are now available for Sunday, July 4 with reserved seating set at $30 and general admission seating for those 18 and up set at $25.
Youth seating for those 11-17 is $10 with kids 10 and under free.
Pit admission for DIRTcar members is $30 with non-member pricing set for $35.
