Back in 1989 when Kevin Cummings scored his first victory of his career behind Orlando Otto, he was just hoping someday he’d reach 1,000 driving wins. Well on Saturday night (April 17), he soared well beyond those dreams from way back when.
Cummings reached the 4,000-lifetime victory plateau in his brilliant career and did so in style by steering Atlantis to a $26.20 upset win in Buffalo Raceway’s fifth race.
“I didn’t think about four thousand wins until a few weeks ago. It kind of crept up on me,” Cummings said. “But then I knew it was just a matter of time. Getting four thousand wins is great but now I am looking forward to getting four thousand and one.”
The 50-year-old Cummings, with the 4,000 wins under his belt, added that to his list of accomplishments that includes six driving titles at Buffalo Raceway and four championships at Batavia Downs. He has netted over $18.7 million in career purse earnings.
