Carter adds Late Model tour to repertoire, earns Deery Series rookie of the year award
OSKALOOSA, Iowa – Already a two-division star, Cayden Carter impressed in a third IMCA class this season. Five top-five finishes figured in his run to rookie of the year honors in the Deery Brothers Summer Series for Late Models. “Everybody is good in this series. Just about anybody can win on a given night,” said Carter, who qualified for all 16 series main events and finished as runner-up in just his fourth tour start, at Quad City Speedway. That May 15 showing preceded three more top five’s in the next four series events. “Rookie of the year was our goal from the start of the season. We struggled in the first couple of races. The biggest challenge for us was dialing the shocks in and learning what to change and what not to change,” Carter said. “I led 32 of 40 laps at Quad City and while it was disappointing not to win, it was still a big confidence booster.” He followed with top five’s at Marshalltown Speedway, Independence Motor Speedway and Kossuth County Speedway.
