Seavey, who finished 2nd in both the 2021-2022 USAC Silver Crown Championship, shares the same sentiment.

We have won several heat races, but the goal is a feature win. “From there, you want podiums and then of course you want race wins. “Going into 2023, our first goal is to lead laps in feature races,” Cox said.
