Tyler Courtney survives restart, beats Axsom at Tri-State
Tyler Courtney, an Indianapolis native, won the World of Outlaws 40-lap feature at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana after late contact with Michael “Buddy” Kofoid that spun Kofoid on the white flag. Courtney survived a green-white-checkered restart and held off Emerson Axsom for the victory. It was Courtney’s sixth World of Outlaws win and his second at Tri-State.
Courtney started fourth and charged to the lead early. Kofoid rallied from as low as 10th and had been seeking a fourth straight victory, and the two drivers traded heavy contact in the closing laps. Under the white flag Kofoid attempted to drag-race under Courtney, made contact and spun, and finished 19th.
Emerson Axsom recorded his first podium of the year in second, Sheldon Haudenschild was third, Brady Bacon fourth and Garet Williamson fifth. In points action Kofoid remained third while series leader David Gravel extended his championship advantage to 80 points.
