NEWMANSTOWN, Pa. – Logan Seavey took the lead from Chad Boat on lap nine and went on to win the NOS Energy Drink USAC National Midget Series Pennsylvania Midget Week finale at Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway on Saturday.

Seavey’s win was his 11th national midget car win this season and the 21st of his career with Toyota.

Boat, who won Thursday night’s event at Path Valley, took the early lead ahead of Andrew Layser, Seavey, Tyler Courtney, Zeb Wise and Kevin Thomas Jr.

Seavey moved past Layser on lap four, with Boat pulling away early. By lap five, Boat had opened up more than three-second lead, but was brought back to the field by a caution on lap six, with yet another caution one lap later.

On the second restart, Seavey made a run at Boat using a slide job to move ahead, but Boat would hold him. Seavey then threw another slider at him, going down low through turn one on lap nine to take the lead. A lap later, Courtney also overtook Boat.

Seavey continued to lead as the 40-lap race passed over the midway point, with Courtney in second, followed by Boat, Thomas, Jason McDougal and Jerry Coons Jr.

The race would be slowed again on lap 24 when Thomas got up on the fence and slowed. He would be able to return to the race, but had to start at the tail end of the field.

Seavey got a strong restart and started to pull away again, with Courtney, McDougal, Coons and Layser making up the top five before Karsyn Elledge spun, bringing out another yellow with nine laps remaining.

Once again, Seavey had a great restart, only to see another caution flag wave after Steve Craig got upside down.

Seavey led the field back to green with just eight laps remaining, as Courtney and McDougal continued to run second and third, but behind them Thomas had charged back up through the field to hold down the fourth spot.

No one had an answer for Seavey though, as he paced the final eight laps for his third USAC win of the season. Courtney finished second, followed by McDougal, Thomas and Coons. Toyota-powered cars captured four of the top-five finishing positions.

“This place is so fun,” relayed Seavey afterward. “Our cars are so good with a cushion like this. It’s been a frustrating week, but finally we got somewhere where we had a cushion where our cars ran well. I had confidence and it’s good to end a week like this with a win.

“I can’t thank my Keith Kunz Motorsports team enough. We’re having a lot of fun.”
