DAISON AMAZIN’ AS HE TAKES OVER USAC’S PROSOURCE PASSING MASTER LEAD
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Speedway, Indiana (June 1, 2023)………Daison Pursley’s 49 cars passed thus far throughout the USAC National season has him pegged as the leader of the 2023 ProSource Passing Master point standings entering the month of June.
The Locust Grove, Okla. native has finished higher than he started in eight of his 12 combined feature starts between the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship divisions, including in each of his last seven appearances.
Pursley is the lone driver in USAC National competition this season to advance six or more positions in at least five of his feature starts in 2023, topping off with a 14th to 4th run on the opening night of the USAC National Midget season at the Belleville (Kan.) High Banks.
Chase Stockon (Fort Branch, Ind.) runs second behind Pursley with 43 passes. Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.) and Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.) share third with 37 apiece. Carson Garrett (Littleton, Colo.), who led the Passing Master points entering May, has advanced 31 positions.
ProSource, of Grand Saline, Texas, has posted a $2,500 year-end reward to the USAC nationally licensed driver who passes the most total cars during feature events throughout USAC’s 2023 National season.
The bonus payday awaits the driver who advances the most positions combined between USAC’s Silver Crown, AMSOIL National Sprint Car and NOS Energy Drink National Midget divisions.
The 2023 season marks the fourth year of ProSource’s Passing Master championship. Chris Windom captured the inaugural edition in 2020. Justin Grant has claimed the honor in each of the past two seasons in 2021 and 2022.
