For the past 47 seasons, Tom Bigelow’s 14-win campaign in 1977 has shined as the beacon when it comes to single season success on the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship tour.

Following Saturday night’s 17th running of the Fall Nationals at Indiana’s Lawrenceburg Speedway, Bigelow now has company in the form of Logan Seavey as both now stand shoulder-to-shoulder for the winningest single season in series history.

The fifth-place starting Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) took over the top spot by lap two, then routed the field for the remaining 29 circuits at the 3/8-mile dirt oval to cash in a $20,000 payday and his 14th win of the series season in his Abacus Racing/Mesilla Valley Transportation – Mountain Mechanical Contractors/DRC/Stanton Chevy.

Surprisingly, despite the record-setting season turned in by Seavey, Saturday night’s score was his first USAC National Sprint Car feature triumph in two-and-a-half months.  His last one came during the USAC Indiana Sprint Week round at Circle City Raceway on July 31.

Oddly enough, during Bigelow’s 1977 season, his 14th and final victory of the year came on July 16.  He then went the remaining 20 starts without a win before ultimately finishing as the runner-up in the title race to champion Sheldon Kinser.  Seavey was determined not to let it come to a déjà vu moment nearly a half-century later after going winless in his 11 most recent series starts in 2024.  In doing so, Seavey extended his championship point lead to a resounding 84 markers with just two events remaining.

Seavey’s 24th career USAC National Sprint Car feature win moved him into sole possession of 27th place on the all-time list, just ahead of past series champions C.J. Leary and Roger McCluskey.  It was Seavey’s second USAC National Sprint Car win at Lawrenceburg in 2024 after also claiming July’s Indiana Sprint Week round.  Overall, it was his third career USAC National Sprint Car score at The Burg, but it’s his first Fall Nationals triumph, making the monumental 14th win that much sweeter, and a load off his back.

“Once (the record) became talked about, it’s kind of been in the back of my head, but I’ve tried not to think about it,” Seavey acknowledged.  “I just really like to win these races and I try to do my best to win them.  It sure makes it a lot sweeter with that $20 grand here.”
