CLEWISTON, Fla. — Davie Franek swept the weekend for the United Sprint Car Series Presented By Hoosier Racing Tires Outlaw Thunder Tour by winning the 30-lap King of the 360 feature Saturday night at Hendry County Raceway Park.
Franek, who earned $10,000, also won the opening night of the USCS Winter Heat Series at the same track on Friday night.
“The car didn’t feel good early and I was looking around to see which groove was going to be the fast way around,” Franek said. “The top dusted off, and I saw that it cleared off on the bottom. We were good there, and that seemed to be where everybody ended up.”
For the second straight night, the 2025 USCS Southern Rookie of the Year, 15-year-old Coen McDaniel battled up through the top five from his fifth starting spot to finish second to Franek.
The 2025 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Rookie of the Year Jadan Bowling took the third spot and Corbin Gurley was fourth. Fifth went to Cale Thomas.
