Dan Marsden Stars in Weedsport Kartway’s All-Star Shootout
WEEDSPORT, NY (July 15, 2022) – The second round of Weedsport Kartway’s Thursday Night Thunder Series featured the All-Star Shootout with former Octoberfest champion Dan Marsden standing tall with a sweep of the night’s Clone Light and Clone Heavy main events.
Driving the No. 81, Marsden’s two victories now make him the all-time senior kart victor at Weedsport with 11 feature wins, ahead of Jared John and Nick McGill.
Marsden charged from toward the rear of the field in each feature go, topping Seth Whitney and Owen Bird in Clone Heavy while beating out Whitney, yet again, and Sabrina Palmer in Clone Light. David Hackett Jr. and Chris Natoli filled the top five finishers in Heavy with Hackett and Tanner Emmons as the top five runners in Light.
For the second race in a row, Chance Weaver proved the driver to beat in Clone Super Heavy. Weaver’s No. 45 topped former feature winners Justin Pier and Logan Winn on the night.
Young Luke Holmes continued his winning ways on the season in Jr. Red Clone, collecting his fourth win of the year in the No. 8. Holmes outlasted Derek Bird and Mason Simmons for the victory.
Jr. Green Clone featured a back and forth battle between Levi Herriven and Addisyn Roger. Herriven would eventually prevail for his 12th career Weedsport win with Roger and Tyler Herzog filling the field.
Nigel Pendykoski once again swept the night in Jr. Blue Clone and Jr. Unrestricted. Pendykoski dominated Blue Clone over Dominic Hugg and Riley Begy and then took advantage of a spin by Casey Pietrzak to win Unrestricted over Pietrzak and Owen Heath.
Jr. Purple Clone was a runaway for Parker Allen, who drove to his 9th career Weedsport win in the No. 20. Allen topped Savannah Simmons and Billy Whittaker in the 15-lap main event.
Weedsport Kartway returns to action for the third round of Thursday Night Thunder on Thursday, August 25 with the running of the Summer Championship.
