TULSA, Okla. (January 8, 2024) He has a Golden Driller; now he can add the O’Reilly Auto Parts Invitational Race of Champions to his list of accomplishments inside the SageNet Center as Logan Seavey served notice and became the tenth driver to top the 25 lap affair.
Quick time, then gridding fourth after the inversion draw was a four, the race to the lead took 13 laps as Chase Briscoe led the opening dozen. Gaining momentum for the slide, Logan quickly took the Victory Fuel No. 39 to a commanding lead before a caution on Lap 18. Putting the right rear on the cushion, Logan picked up right where he left off, winning by 2.448 seconds.
A battle for the runner-up spot, Tyler Courtney held off the repeated slide jobs from Cannon McIntosh, who crossed third. Kater Sarff was fourth, with Chase Briscoe completing the top five.
