Pottsville, Penn. -- One of Emerson Axsom’s stated goals when he signed on as a driver for Clauson Marshall Racing was to keep the legacy of Bryan Clauson going.

On Thursday night at Pottsville, Pennsylvania’s Big Diamond Speedway, Axsom lived up to his word, not only following in BC’s footsteps by becoming an Eastern Storm winner, but also by winning on what would’ve been BC’s 34th birthday.

Bryan, who perished in a 2016 racing accident, remains the only three-time Eastern Storm titlist in 2012-13-16. Now, in 2023, Axsom (Franklin, Ind.) has ascended to the top of the Eastern Storm point standings by virtue of his win in the Clauson Marshall Racing/Driven2SaveLives – ZMax Race Lubricants/Spike/Kistler Chevy.

It’s a win that’s not only rewarding for himself personally, but also for the Clauson family, from Bryan’s father, to his mother and his sister.

Axsom’s triumph was his first of the USAC season following three runner-up finishes in a little over a one-week span between the NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship and the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship.
