LAMB ON FIRE, WINS SECOND STRAIGHT AT DILLON

Dillon, South Carolina (June 24, 2023)………The USAC Eastern Focus Midget series once again became The Chris Lamb Show on Saturday night at South Carolina’s Dillon Motor Speedway.

It was the Colfax, N.C. native’s second straight victory this season and his 59th overall with the series, by far the most all-time.

Lamb chased race leader Keegan Walmer for the first five laps until slipping by en route to winning the 30-lap main event.  Dakoda Armstrong (New Castle, Ind.) finished as the runner-up, just a car length back and 0.229 sec. behind at the stripe.

J.T. Bierman (Bath, Pa.) was the fastest qualifier for the second straight series event, then went on to finish third in the feature.  By doing so, he leapfrogged Logan Sulyi to take over the series point lead by a slim four-point margin.

Walmer (Concord, N.C.) brought it home fourth while reigning series champion Hunter Wise (Allentown, Pa.) rounded out the top-five.
