We just met Corey Kuchta for the first time this weekend. We watched him race on the first day and could swear we’ve seen his car before. Sure enough, we learned he’s driving Jason Scherer’s KOH winning Ultra4, and took it on its maiden voyage this past weekend. Make no mistake, he looked good and fast out there, making it near impossible to tell it was his first comp. Unfortunately, crashes like this happen without warning.

After sailing through the start/finish line for another lap, Corey ended up kissing the front driver’s tire of Will Carter with his passenger rear. In an instant, this catapulted Corey down the field in what was, in person, a very scary crash.

We’re happy to say Corey stepped out of his Ultra4 and walked away. We do hope to see him back in action again, for his time on the field was nothing short of impressive.
