Shane Clanton picked up yet another national tour victory on Thursday night, winning the opener for the Race XR Super Series Duel in the Desert at Las Vegas.

The ‘Georgia Bulldog’ looked all the part of the college football team’s offense powering to the win in his Capital Race Car chassis over 2022 Lucas Dirt champion Tim McCreadie and Eldora Million winner Jonathan Davenport.

If Clanton can capture victories on both Friday and Saturday night in Las Vegas, he will receive a $50,000 bonus from Karl Chevrolet for sweeping the weekend.

Each of the next two nights, paying $20,000 and $40,000, respectfully, can be seen on racexr.plus.
