A Night of Speed and Sparkle
The Cook Out Summer Shootout transformed Charlotte Motor Speedway into a neon‑lit arena on Saturday, as fans gathered for a Disco Night that blended retro beats with the roar of engines. The event, held in North Carolina, United States, drew a full slate of competitors across the Young Lions, Bandits and Pro Series divisions.
In the Young Lions division, Landon Thrasher claimed his second victory of the season after a dramatic late‑race charge. Early leaders Case James and Brexton Busch paced the field until a late caution shuffled the order, setting the stage for Thrasher to seize the lead on the final restart and drive to the checkered flag.
Maverick Bradshaw delivered a masterclass in the Bandits division, taking the lead on Lap 9 and never looking back. The driver credited his coach, Neal Dulin, for the decisive pass that put him in control, marking Bradshaw’s second win of the year.
The Pro Series action also produced a cascade of winners, with Ben Morabito taking the postponed Round 2 race, London McKenzie capturing the Round 3 title, and Stetson Stroup, Carson Sherman, Finn Buckley, Dylan Faulkner and Robby Faggart each earning victories in their respective classes.
Beyond the results, the night’s energy was defined by high‑speed thrills and a celebratory atmosphere, underscoring the growing popularity of the Summer Shootout series. Organizers highlighted the synergy between on‑track competition and the surrounding festivities, promising more electrifying events ahead.
