Cody Wenzen took the Stage Victory, notching himself one playoff point. Silliman took pole and lead the most laps on the night, and notched his way into the ISDC

Motegi, JPN- In the Formula World Series third trip to the Land of the Rising Sun, Johnny Eckert was able to pull out some magic and steal the win in the closing laps. A race which saw seven drivers swap the lead twenty one times over one hundred laps came down to the closing stages. Ryan Kish lead coming out of a late caution with Danny Roberts and Stephen Laarkamp hot on his tail but it would not last. Kish was playing the strategy game, banking on a late caution which never

happened. With only a few short laps left Kish was forced to pit for fuel and finished two laps down in twelfth. Johnny Eckert and Tim Silliman were both able to mount a strong charge through the field to enter the top three in the closing laps. When Danny Roberts dropped out of the mix on a penalty with only three to go a huge gap opened between the pack and the leader,  making it difficult for anyone to catch Eckert. Silliman edged Laarkamp for second while a four car three wide battle to the line took place behind, with Pilot Performance Group Teammates Travis Bennett and Erik Jeffers rounding out the Top-5. Danny Roberts still lead the most laps at 32 and came home as the final car on the lead lap in eleventh, while Stephen Laarkamp took fastest lap honors. Roberts also scored maximum bonus points having scored Pole Position. ​The race, the first with new partners Off Camber TV, was also the first streamed on iRacing Live, scoring a net viewership over four hundred, with over a hundred others on playback. Next week the series heads halfway around the world to Brands Hatch, just outside of London, England. The race will mark the first on ISDC TV, with Dylan Ackart and OCTV's Wes Graham in the booth.

Summit Point, WV- To this point in ISDC History one man has been able to conquer the fast road course on the West Virginia state line, Stephen Laarkamp. Laarkamp made an appearance in the ISDC Indy Lights race and lead flag to flag to take the first victory in series history. Cody Wenzen took home second for a GAP SRT 1-2 while Tim Silliman rounded out the podium. As the series is designed as a developmental class, Stephen Laarkamp on the back of his performances in the ​Formula World Series is not eligible for points, meaning

In the first ISDC Grand National Event with Stage Racing and a traditional crap-shoot, Bowers was able to lead over half the race and score max points in the process. Bowers held off a hard charging Johnny Eckert in the late stages to take his first Daytona 400 title. Eckert finished second, Adam Hill was third, Rocky Body fourth and Matt Lesniewski rounded out the top 5. 25 ​Lead changes occured between 11 different drivers, of

26 that started. The first stage ended under yellow flag conditions while Bowers was able to barely nip Tim Silliman for the victory in Stage 2. ISDC Rookie Logan McAnally took pole position while Mac Motorsports teammate Austin Cothren was able to score fastest lap. With the new Stage Points system, Nate Bowers exits Daytona a near lock for the Grand National Series Playoffs and the far and away points leader. Bowers leads Tim Silliman by 16 points, followed by Rocky Boyd and Johnny Eckert in a tie for third, with Adam Hill and Matthew Lesniewski tied for fifth.

Daytona Preview

Tonight August 24th marks the first night of the new ISDC Season. The brand new Tough Truck Challenge heads to the Florida Panhandle to Pensacola's historic Five Flags Speedway where the trucks are set to do battle over 100 laps in the Sunbelt Rentals 100. In pre race testing Will Roberts has been the man to beat, setting down laps consistently at a 16.0, while Tim Silliman and Dylan Ackart have also been fast. Meanwhile look for Cody Wenzen and Matt Eagan to step up to the plate, if we have learned anything from short tracks in Grand National, both of these drivers are fast. Tires will be at a premium as the aged track surface is hungry for rubber. The green flag will drop at 7:37 PM Eastern, look back here after for results and replays.

Meanwhile the ISDC Grand National Series is looking for a strong debut tonight for the 3rd ISDC Daytona 400. The race, lengthened this season from 300 to 400 kilometers, will be the first test for many new items in the Grand National Series. Stage Racing is making it's debut in Grand National, with tonight being one of three races this season to have three stages, along with the Coca Cola World 300 on September 28th, and the Ford 250 on November 16th. Tonight will consist of two 25 lap stages, and one fifty lap stage at the end. Daytona is always a dance with luck, but there is one name that has proven to always be near the front in the plate events, Cody Wenzen. Look for the Arizona driver to be near the front and in contention come lap 100 yet again. Also look out for both defending champions Trevor Brownlee and Stephen Laarkamp.
