Congratulations to Cal Stewart, winner of Friday’s Senior 380 # money race at the AKT Carolina Turkey Shootout!

Eli Fox started from the pole and led the first 20 laps until the competition caution on lap 20. A mandatory pit stop meant all drivers had to change right-side tires as fast as possible, retake the track to a green flag, and run a 5-lap shootout.

Stewart led Marc Stehle off pit road and maintained a gap over Stehle for the final five laps to take the win, good for a cool $600 payday! Stehle took P2 for $400 with Ryan Sukeena collecting $300 for P3. Fox and Jamie Bradford finished in the money in fourth and fifth.

A full day of racing in on tap for Saturday with two rounds of practice, qualifying, heats and main events for the 3rd annual Turkey Shootout at CMP. Over 100 karts expected — looking forward to a great (albeit cold 🥶) day of racing in South Carolina!
