Sam Seawright
Victory Lane Narrowly Escapes Seawright's Grasp
Sam Seawright entered a doubleheader with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series Super Late Models over the holiday weekend in Georgia and Tennessee.
On Saturday night the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series contingent squared off against the ULTIMATE Late Model Series at Senoia (Ga.) Raceway. While Sam got buried early in the night in prelim action he was able to charge from fifth-to-second in his B-Main to lock into the 20th-starting spot for the feature. After getting collected in a melee early in the $10,000-to-win finale, Sam headed pitside and was credited with a 28th-place finish.
Sunday evening found the action shifting north to Duck River Raceway Park (Wheel, Tenn.). Sam hit the ground running with fast time in his group followed by a heat race win. Advancing to the redraw, Seawright was awarded with the fourth-starting spot for the feature.
Sam charged to the lead early in the feature and looked to be on his way to victory before the hood blew back on the rock guard with just three laps remaining, forcing him to relinquish the lead and retire from the race. He was scored with a disappointing 19th-place finish in the final rundown.
