Sarver, Pa. (July 6, 2022) Elk Grove, Californias Kyle Larson made it look relatively easy on Wednesday evening at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, taking command from row three before driving on to score a $25,000 payday in the 31st edition of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup.

Impressive enough, the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion was forced to outduel one of the hottest competitors on dirt, Brent Marks, in his Silver Cup quest, powering around the four-time PA Sprint Speedweek winner and PA Speedweek champion after a lap seven restart. The Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 victory was Larsons first of the season and the 27th of his career, officially expanding his track list to 20. In addition, Larson is now a two-time Silver Cup champion.

Brent Marks held on to finish second in the Silver Cup 30-lapper, followed by Buch Motorsports Justin Peck, All Star Rookie of the Year contender, Chris Windom, and former Lernerville All Star winner, Hunter Schuerenberg.

œA big thanks to Paul Silva and everyone else that was here helping us tonight. There are so many people that help out Paul and this car, and its such a pleasure to drive,? Larson said, driver of the Folkens Brothers Trucking/FloRacing/Durst/Tarlton and Sons/No. 57. œIts great to get back to victory lane after a few second place finishes last week. This is a special win. I like Lernerville a lot. Definitely different track conditions here tonight with a quick surface. I was able to keep a solid pace.?

Larsons move around Marks sealed the deal, but it was his maneuver around Rico Abreu and Hunter Schuerenberg that put œYung Money? in a position to pounce, passing each of them in the same circuit following a lap four restart.

œI knew the top was way better down in one and two,? Larson continued. œI was able to get to second then another caution came out. I was hoping Brent (Marks) wasnt going to move up¦he didnt and I was able to get by. From that point, I was just trying to run some really hard laps out front. Our car was really good tonight.?
