Briggs Danner Passes Seavey to Win $10K Circle City Salute

Briggs Danner passed Logan Seavey on lap 17 and won the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car 40-lap Circle City Salute at Circle City Raceway, taking the $10,000 winner’s purse. Danner led the final 24 laps of the quarter-mile feature. Seavey had led the opening 16 laps and finished second, while Kyle Cummins set a new LearnLab qualifying track record at 11.601 seconds, started 10th and finished third.

Cummins retained the USAC national points lead at 1,058. Mitchel Moles was second with 970, Justin Grant third with 969, Logan Seavey fourth with 892 and Briggs Danner fifth with 871. Moles and Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports have four fast qualifying awards at Circle City Raceway; Moles had held the one-lap USAC track record at 11.819 seconds set in 2022 before Cummins’ new mark. Moles and Reinbold-Underwood recorded two runner-up finishes at the track in 2025 and were still pursuing their first CCR race win together.

C.J. Leary extended his streak to 328 consecutive USAC feature starts dating to 2017 and is a two-time Circle City Raceway winner (2022 and 2025). Jacob Denney, who earned his first sprint car feature victory at CCR in April, was making his first USAC National Sprint Car start for Team AZ/Curb-Agajanian at the Circle City Salute. Rookie Cale Coons was seeking his maiden USAC National Sprint Car series win. The weekend featured several flips, including Ricky Lewis in qualifying and Chet Williams and Todd Hobson in semis. The Circle City Salute has produced four different winners in as many runnings; the 2025 running was officially listed as a rainout and credited to Mother Nature.
