The final two rounds of the 2022-23 Silver State Road Course Series at Las Vegas Motor Speedway – Rounds 6 and 7 – were contested Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The five winners from Saturday’s Round 6 action were no stranger to victory lane this year, as Landen Lewis won the Pro feature, Robert Gayton the Masters, Carson Brown the Semi-Pro, A.J. Zarcone the Young Lions, and Ashton Leonard won the Bandolero feature.
On Sunday for Round 7, Lewis and Zarcone were best in class once again, but Carl Cormier won the Masters feature, Jake Walker was the Semi-Pro winner, and Keaton Harbison won the Bandolero division. It was Walker and Harbison’s first win in this year’s series.
Across five division, a total of 35 races were run this year, with 12 different drivers collecting first-place honors.
Landen Lewis, the 2022 INEX Pro Road Course National Champion, swept the opening and final weekend’s set of races, taking home four first-place trophies to become the 2022-23 SSRCS Pro Champion. His teammate, Carson Brown, never finished worse than third and won five times to become this year’s SSRCS Semi-Pro Champion.
In the Masters Division, Carl Cormier won only two races and started the final round on Sunday third in the Masters points. His second victory came in the final round and scored just enough points to edge his competitors for the Masters title.
The Young Lions ran a combination race with the Semi-Pros all series long, but first-place was still awarded to the top Young Lions finisher. All seven Young Lions wins went to A.J. Zarcone, making him the undisputed 2022-23 SSRCS Young Lions Champion. Ashton Leonard won the first six Bandolero races, but suffered a mechanical failure in the final race, however, he seized enough points to still become this year’s Bandolero Champion at the Silver State Road Course Series.
