• LANIE BUICE finished 13th in the Late Model Stock Car feature at Florence Motor Speedway during the Labor Day weekend Cookout 225, battling through a competitive field where tire wear became a critical factor. While the spotlight focused on Landen Lewis and Connor Hall’s championship battle up front, Buice held her own in a race that saw heavy attrition and strategic challenges throughout the field.
• JADE AVEDISIAN claimed a solid 7th place finish in the Pro Late Model race, demonstrating consistent pace in what proved to be a challenging night for several championship contenders. Her performance came as points leader Ben Maier struggled with damage and had to fight back from a wreck with 40 laps remaining, showing how quickly fortunes can change in this competitive series.
• Both women competed in fields where strategy and tire management proved crucial, with the outside groove becoming the preferred line in the Late Model feature while Pro Late Model drivers had to navigate restarts and traffic patterns. The races showcased the depth of talent in the zMAX CARS Tour, where drivers like Buice and Avedisian continue building their stock car credentials against seasoned competition including Dale Earnhardt Jr. and other notable names.
