Just want to send out congratulations to my pal Cole Whitt, who led all 30 laps of tonight's feature at Big Diamond, and in the process became the youngest ever winner of a USAC National Sprint Car Race ON DIRT at 16 years, 11 months, and 13 days. This beat Billy Puterbaugh, Jr.'s previous dirt record of 17 years, 7 months, and 6 days. For those wondering, Bryan Clauson still holds the overall record by winning on the Winchester pavement in April of 2006, becoming the youngest ever winner of a USAC National Sprint Car feature at 16 years, 10 months, and 8 days.

Cole used a killer crossover on Dave Darland exiting turn 2 on the first lap, and held off a charging Levi Jones on the final lap to set the record. Cole is a good little racer and a great kid, and I couldn't be happier for him, his family, and the entire Keith Kunz Motorsports gang. Congrats...
