Prepares for Senoia Raceway on Saturday

NEWNAN, Ga. (05/13/20) – Austin Horton capitalized on a last-minute decision to race at West Georgia Speedway (Whitesburg, Ga.) on Saturday night, earning his first win of the 2020 season.

Despite his late arrival, Horton topped the speed charts in qualifying to earn the pole position for night’s main event. Austin took the point at the drop of the green flag and never looked back, leading every lap en route to his first win of the season.

Earlier in the weekend, Horton made the trip to Senoia (Ga.) Raceway for the DirtonDirt.com Shootout. The Thursday night special drew a stout field of 43 entries to chase a $5,000 top prize.

Austin followed up the eighth-fastest time in his qualifying group with a seventh place finish his heat race. After having to utilize a provisional to start the 40-lap A-Main, Horton mounted a charge through the field, advancing 15 positions to finish ninth.

Kaeden Cornell Soars to Second WoO iRacing Victory
Lucas Oil Speedway Season Opener on Saturday

WILLARD, Mo. (05/13/20) – Kaeden Cornell picked up his second World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series iRacing victory on Tuesday night.

During the third round in the trilogy of World of Outlaws eDirt Racing Shootout events on CBS Sports Network, Cornell made a thrilling late-race move that landed him in (virtual) Victory Lane at The (virtual) Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Earning the fifth-starting position for the A-Main via preliminary events, Cornell stayed up front the entire race. He would swipe the lead away from Trent Ivey on a big slide job he threw in Turn 3 with just seven circuits remaining just as the caution waved.

As the field stepped on the throttle in Turn 4 for the restart, Cornell got the best jump of anybody, rocketing down the front stretch and into Turn 1 with a massive advantage over Nick Stroupe and Mike McKinney.

As the field went into a frenzy behind him, Cornell was smooth sailing out front in his Hoover Motorsports No. 50 Dirt Draft/ Lucas Oil/ P&W Sales/ Etchberger Transportation/ Black Diamond Chassis (virtual) Super Late Model. Untouched, he led the field back to the checkered flag for the win.

“Whenever that dang caution came out there, I was throwing stuff in here, man I was ticked,” Cornell responded. “That start, it was like I had some kind of nitrous button or something. I couldn’t ever do that again if I tried!”

Cornell crossed the finish line ahead of McKinney, Ivey, Matty Watkins, and Logan Seavey.

Above all, Cornell was thankful for his supportive sponsors and the opportunity to race on national television. “I can’t thank everybody enough that helps me with this deal. You guys for putting this on for us while this whole virus deal is going on is just super awesome. CBS, the World of Outlaws and everybody with them, I just can’t thank them enough,” Cornell said.

This Saturday, May 16, Kaeden Cornell is planning his return to real-world competition with the 2020 Season Opener at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. The following weekend – May 22-23 – Cornell has his sights set on a doubleheader with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil at Legit Speedway Park in West Plains, Mo.
