WEEDSPORT, NY (September 20, 2021) – It was a record setting day for the James Shutts Memorial at Weedsport Kartway as Matt Chavis topped 27 entrants to claim north of $1,200 of an overall purse exceeding $5,700.

Chavis started the 44-lap, 2-segment, grind from the 14th position and eventually snagged the lead from Nick Story after leaders Dylan Feltman, Tommy Barnes and Jared John all found themselves turned around early in the race’s second segment.

Chavis, the day’s Hard Charger, earned $1,022 for the victory after also claiming the Infinit Technology Solutions Dash for Cash, making for a $1,272 pay day for the driver of the No. 01.

Story would hang on for the second position after 44-laps with Trent Curtis, Feltman and Mike Allery finishing the top five.

Quick timer Logan Winn and Barnes brought the field to green with Barnes and Chance Weaver sliding by Winn early on to lead the field. Weaver stalked Barnes early on before fading back as Feltman began his charge through the pack.

Feltman’s No. 44 was the kart to beat all night long, charging to the lead of the first segment from the sixth starting position and going on to lead at lap 22 before the race’s halfway break, earning $222 ahead of John and Barnes.

At halfway all karts were brought to a stop on the front stretch, allowing for minor pit stops under a 5-minute clock. At the end of 5-minutes, Feltman would pull the inversion draw for the second segment, which was a 3 and put Barnes back on top ahead of John and Feltman.

After halfway it appeared to be a three kart battle between Barnes, John and Feltman; until the top three went three wide into turn one causing the field to scatter behind. The leaders were sent to the tail for causing the incident, with Story and Chavis now restarting at the head of the pack.

Chavis would prove to be the man to beat in the second segment, comfortably driving to the victory ahead of Story, Curtis, Feltman, Allery, Nick McGill, Josh Ostrander, John, Justin Pier and Mike Silvernail.

Ostrander won the day’s B-Main to qualify for the James Shutts Memorial, along with Jude Parker. Phil Young was the first driver not to qualify, earning $100 from Precision Racing Products.

Trailing Chavis in the Infinit Technology Solutions Dash for Cash was Jason Moll, Nick Tryt, Colin Spatorico and Robby Eastman.

The day’s other PRO event was a $500 to win go for PRO Clone 360, which was won by Jared John. John bested 19 entries with Seth Whitney, Jared Costello, Tyler Brown and Tanner Emmons trailing him to the line.

John would also go on to win Clone Heavy on Sunday over Whitney and Brown.

Clone Light once again brought a stout field with 22 entries and at the end of 25-laps it was Jeremy Tuttle earning the win in the No. 66 after transferring out of the B-Main. Tuttle topped Chris Hulsizer, who made the race via a provisional, and Logan Crisafulli.

Clone Super Heavy provided another exciting race with Dylan Feltman taking the checkered flag over Curtis and John.

The day’s Junior events were again fast and furious as Austin Silvernail took the win in Jr. Red Clone over Edward Hatch and Joey Williams.

Levi Herriven continued his domination of Jr. Green Clone on Sunday, topping Blake Banek and Wyatt Mullen.

A total of 11-karts competed in Jr. Purple Clone with Logan Brown driving to the win from the pole position. Brown edged Ayden Silvernail for the victory ahead of Bryson Matjoulis.

Lane Snook would sweep both Jr. Blue Clone and Jr. Unrestricted with his No. 23 machines. Dylan Begy and Chayton Young chased Snook to the line in Blue Clone with Riley Begy and Casey Pietrzak chasing in Unrestricted.

The Slack Karts Super Kart Series will close out 2021 during Weedsport’s Octoberfest IV Weekend on October 16-17.

All eight point divisions will be in action on both days to close out the championship race, with several PRO events slated for each day.
