Logan Seavey Retains USAC Silver Crown Throne At Port Royal Speedway
Logan Seavey claimed his second consecutive USAC Silver Crown victory at Port Royal Speedway during Saturday's Open Wheel Madness event.
PORT ROYAL, Pa. -- Logan Seavey didn’t quite need to showcase the same level of dramatic flair this time around during Saturday night’s USAC Silver Crown main event at Pennsylvania’s Port Royal Speedway.
One year after fence-banging his way to a last lap victory, the Sutter, Calif. native settled this score as early as possible en route to his second consecutive victory at the half-mile, retaining his undefeated 2-0 record in USAC Silver Crown competition at Port Royal.
Seavey tracked down his championship nemesis during the last couple of seasons, Kody Swanson, on the 22nd lap, then proceeded to construct a substantial lead that was eradicated by a late caution. The circumstances couldn’t touch Seavey nor could the competition as he completed the final four-lap stint with his first series victory of the season in his Rice Motorsports-Abacus Racing/STIDA.com – CG CPAs – Indy Custom Stone/DRC/Felker Chevy.
Seavey’s sixth career USAC Silver Crown triumph tied him for 19th on the all-time list alongside, Tom Bigelow, Russ Gamester, Kenny Irwin Jr., Jason Leffler, Ken Schrader and Al Unser, all of whom are USAC national champions, including Seavey himself, the 2018 USAC National Midget titlist.
Furthermore, Seavey’s prowess on the half-mile dirt ovals with the series is supreme. His five career half-mile dirt track scores rank second all-time, only behind the great Jack Hewitt. In fact, Seavey seemingly has the field in a stranglehold on these particular circuits, having won five of the past seven dating back to 2021, making him the one to beat as the early series championship leader by a 39-point margin.
