BRL OUTLAWS S38 R9 Recap

01 March 2025
Bootleg Racing League | Season 38 | Round 9
Outlaw Modified Series | Oswego Speedway

On Saturday, March 1st, the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Series battled at Oswego Speedway for Round 9 of Season 38. Aiden Young entered the night with a 15-point lead over James Lowe, but the treacherous track conditions ensured that nothing would come easy.

Kurt Smith led the field to green from the pole, but the race quickly turned chaotic as cautions stacked up, preventing any long runs. Donny Moore wasted no time applying pressure for the lead, but frequent yellows stalled his momentum. Chris Davis also made moves through the field, securing third place before another caution reset the field.

On a lap 13 restart, Moore capitalized on a small opening left by Smith, diving to the inside to take the race lead. With cautions continuing to fall, Moore managed to conserve his tires while maintaining control at the front. Behind him, Scott Negus challenged Davis for second, but contact sent both drivers down the order, triggering yet another caution on lap 24.

Amidst the chaos, Brennan Myers methodically worked his way through the field, quietly climbing into second place by lap 30 after passing Smith. Sensing Moore was pushing his tires too hard, Myers remained patient, predicting more cautions while keeping the leader within reach. His strategy paid off—Moore’s aggressive driving took its toll, and Myers steadily reeled him in, effortlessly taking over the lead in the second half of the race.

With his tires fading, Moore struggled to maintain pace, falling back through the field. While multiple cautions helped him stay near the front, Myers executed flawless restarts, never allowing anyone to challenge him. Meanwhile, Young charged through the field, making his way up to third place as the laps wound down.

Just as the race appeared to be heading to a clean finish, contact between Young and Davis with four laps to go brought out another caution, setting up a dramatic green-white-checkered restart. However, before the field could take the white flag, a multi-car pileup in turns 3 and 4 brought out the yellow once again, ending the race under caution.

Brennan Myers officially secured his first career Outlaw SK Modified victory, surviving the attrition-filled event at Oswego. Aiden Young finished seventh but managed to extend his points lead to 16 over Lowe heading into the next round.
