SARVER, Pa. — Corey Day bounced back from difficult outings in recent High Limit Racing events to win Friday night’s Commonwealth Clash opener at Lernerville Speedway.
The Jason Meyers Racing, Driven2SaveLives No. 14bc rolled from third at the start of the 30-lapper but faded as far back to fifth at one point before rallying back to the front and sparking a three-way battle for the lead with Sye Lynch, Tyler Courtney and Day.
Lynch led lap 11 with Courtney controlling lap 12 before Day darted to command on lap 13.
From there, the Clovis, Calif., 18-year-old pulled away and mastered lapped traffic in a non-stop 30-lapper, extending his advantage to a 4.5-second margin of victory.
The win marked Day’s seventh trip to victory lane with Kubota High Limit Racing — creating a three-way tie with Rico Abreu and Brad Sweet for winningest driver with the series in 2024.
Lynch capped a career-best performance finishing second aboard his No. 42 after leading the opening 11 laps.
He’ll vie for $50,000 tomorrow night at Lernerville, hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps as Ed Lynch Jr. beat the World of Outlaws at Lernerville back in 2002.
Rounding out the podium was Courtney with his 17th podium of the year with Kubota High Limit Racing,
