Every time we attend a race, we hope to see something special – an amazing move to take the lead, a memorable duel, someone overcoming the odds stacked against them, or pretty much something you don’t see on a regular basis. These are those eight moments from the 2020 USAC National season that drew us out of our seats and made us say “wow!”
1. Seavey Logs Gas City ISW Opener In Epic Duel With Thomas
Oct 28, 2020
The introduction to the 2020 edition of NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week at Gas City I-69 Speedway on July 24 produced one of the wildest finishes in the 33-year history of the series, punctuated by a memorable duel between Logan Seavey and Kevin Thomas Jr. that truly defined the fine line between the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
Competing for nearly the entirety of the second half of the 30-lap feature side-by-side for the lead, Seavey and Thomas tangled in turn three while working their past a lapped car, sending both of the frontrunners over the turn three cushion. Thomas’ car came to a stop while Seavey motored on without stopping, bent draglink and all.
From thereon, Seavey fended off the competition in a green-white-checkered battle with Chase Stockon to collect his first career ISW victory.
