2024 Sunoco Drive For The Cup Helger’s Sportsman Champion: Adam Pettey

Adam Pettey made a move to get the lead in the championship event of the Sunoco Drive For The Cup in the Helger’s Sportsman, and it captured him the 2024 championship crown in the NASCAR Division III class. Pettey, who won five times during the season, added his name to the extensive list of track champions for the first time in his career. Competing in the Sportsman over the last handful of years, Pettey has been to Victory Lane often. He made the Final Four in 2023 and came up just short of the crown. But this year, he wasn’t going to let it slip away in the No. 57 machine.


Pettey was joined in the Final Four by Colby Lambert, Doug Benoit and Scott Serydynski Jr. All worthy of their shot for the title, they had different paths to get there. Lambert dominated the division with consistency this season, and earned the right to finish second in the final point standings. Serydynski and Benoit had their struggles at different times, but came together to get into the championship race with a shot at the crown.


Among playoff contenders, which also included Tyler Almeida and Josh Hedges, Pettey won five times, while Lambert grabbed two wins, and Serydynski and Hedges had one each.
