Cory Hedgecock raced to his fifth win of the 2022 season on Friday evening at I-75 Raceway in his his E-Z-GO / Noble Knights Construction Services No. 23 Budget Transmission / K&P Used Cars / Black Diamond Race Car / Eagle Racing Engine Late Model. He picked up $2,500 for the win.

He paced the field for the first half of the $5,000-to-win event on Saturday night before ultimately finishing second.

“We got ‘er done on Friday night but came up one spot short on Saturday night. On Saturday we had a commanding lead before the red flag, but after that we let the door open to some racing unfortunately and slipped to a second-place finish. Overall though, we had a solid car all weekend, won the miniseries points, and are now ready for some clean Super Late Model racing this coming Saturday at 411 (Motor Speedway),” Hedgecock said.
