The outside groove was the name of the game for Jacob “Rowdy” Burns on Saturday night at Seekonk Speedway. Before he scored his first career Pro Stock win, Burns took down the victory in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Racing Series Late Model 30-lap main event.

Following the action opening day, all four NASCAR divisions are ready to battle - with some drivers looking to keep their strong start to the season going and others looking to turn their fortune around from their week one finish.

LeBrun took the lead on the restart on lap eight, and although he had some fierce challengers behind, he was able to escape while others battled. Opening a championship defense in Victory Lane is a great start to the season.

Seekonk Speedway’s 80th anniversary season of short-track racing in Massachusetts is here. The Action Track of the East will open the campaign on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4, with two different days of excitement for fans.

The speed will definitely be there for LeBrun, who has shown to be able to win in multiple divisions at Seekonk - including the Mini Cups, Legends Cars and Late Models. But, who will be among his top challengers?
