SALISBURY, N.C. – Star power was the order of the day during Saturday’s DiaEdge Carolina Midget Showdown presented by Tex-A-Con Cut Stone at Millbridge Speedway, with Chase Briscoe and Kyle Larson splitting the feature victories at the sixth-mile dirt track. Cautions with nine and four laps to go, respectively, set Larson up on Briscoe’s tail for an epic duel to the finish. Though Larson tried, Briscoe was ultimately able to hang on for the win by .089 seconds. Though Timms led the first four laps and Leary paced laps five through 15, once Larson got command of the 40-lapper on the 16th rotation there was no stopping him from adding another trophy to his mantle. That was definitely tough and Cannon was fast all race,” Larson said in victory lane. By virtue of his win in the second feature, plus his earlier runner-up finishes and performances in qualifying and heat race action, Larson took the event title by 47 points over Briscoe.
