**Kyler Bruce wire-to-wire at Weedsport, Donny Battiest muscles through the field** Kyler Bruce showed why he qualified on the pole, leading 22 laps and controlling the feature from start to finish at Weedsport. He wasn't challenged down the stretch — just clean, consistent pace that put the rest of the field on notice. The real story was Donny Battiest's charge. Starting tenth, he picked off five positions to grab fifth at the checkers. That kind of aggression in a packed field is how you make a statement, especially this early in the season. Mike Fritz kept it tight in second, with Daniel J Adam securing the final podium spot. Jason Korn rounded out the top five and won his heat earlier, so he's got every reason to feel good heading into Round 3.
