Zorn, Woods, And Weger Add To Win Totals During Dirt2Media NOW600 Debut At Rush County

LA CROSSE, Kan. (July 6, 2023) Adding to their win totals with the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division, Brant Woods and Trey Zorn each captured their second win in as many races in A-Class and Non-Wing, while Braxton Weger captured his second win of the 2023 season in Restricted.

The race of the night, Trey Zorn brought the home-state fans to their feet with a last-lap pass for the win over North Carolina’s Hunter Kohn. Leading from the start, Kohn protected the bottom as Zorn stalked the No. 48 through the final laps.

Diamonding down, hoping to catch Kohn slipping off the hub, Zorn was finally forced to let it eat on the top as the pair raced into the final two turns. Pulling alongside for the win off the final turn, Trey Zorn snagged the win by 0.006-seconds to record the closest finish in NOW600 National competition. Kohn was joined on the podium by Weldon Buford. Fourth was Chance Cody, and fifth was Ryder McCutcheon.

Running off and hiding for his second A-Class win of the week, Brant Woods led start to finish in the Jim’s Diesel and Auto No. 83. Pulling to over three seconds over the race for second, it was Trey vs. Kasen Zorn for the spot with Trey Zorn, from fifth, taking over on Lap 13.

Trailing by lead by as much as three seconds, Zorn cut it down over the last five laps to 0.761-seconds, but there was no denying Woods the win. Cale Lagroon snagged third on the closing lap. Dropping Kasen Zorn to fourth, the top five rounded out with Carson Bolden.

Braxton Weger’s second career Dirt2Media NOW600 Restricted victory, the Calera, Okla. driver led flag-to-flag. Dawson Woods crossed second, with Carson Bolden third. Cash Lacombe, from tenth, made it to fourth, with Cale Lagroon fifth.
