GARRETT GASSES IT TO EARLY PROSOURCE PASSING MASTER LEAD
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Speedway, Indiana (May 8, 2023)………By virtue of passing 29 cars throughout the first six events of the 2023 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season, Carson Garrett leads the ProSource Passing Master point standings.
Garrett (Littleton, Colo.) is the one and only driver to start all six feature events thus far and finish higher than he started in all six events following last weekend’s two events at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway.
His two best performances have come in two of his last three starts. At Indiana’s Tri-State Speedway on April 15, Garrett advanced from 16th to 7th to earn hard charger honors for the night. Most recently, last Saturday at Eldora, Garrett swept past 14 competitors in his charge from 20th to 6th to, once again, earn the hard charger bonus.
In fact, the 7th and 6th place finishes in recent weeks are the two best career USAC National Sprint Car finishes for the 22-year-old Garrett as he takes on the full USAC Sprint Car schedule for the first time in 2023.
ProSource, of Grand Saline, Texas, has posted a $2,500 year-end reward to the driver who passes the most total cars during feature events throughout USAC’s 2023 National season. The bonus payday awaits the driver who advances the most positions combined between USAC’s Silver Crown, AMSOIL National Sprint Car and NOS Energy Drink National Midget divisions.
The 2023 season marks the fourth year of ProSource’s Passing Master championship. Chris Windom captured the inaugural edition in 2020. Justin Grant has claimed the honor in each of the past two seasons in 2021 and 2022.
