Steven Snyder Jr Snags KKM Giveback Classic presented by MPI Championship Night Honors

Belleville, IL. (10/23/21) Finalizing the weekend in a late night of action at Port City Raceway for Championship Night of the KKM Giveback Classic presented by MPI, competitors for the Lucas Oil POWRi 600cc Outlaw Non-Wing Micros would need to be up on the wheel for every race as intense open-wheel excitement found Steven Snyder Jr earning the advantage to claim the victory over the sixty-seven-lap feature race.

With a pair of C-Features needed due to the seventy-eight entries, the top four from each would move on to the tail of B-Feature racing with Aiden Purdue and Trey Robb claiming victories. B-Features semi-feature action would see the top eight competitors advancing into the A-Main with Frank Flud and Tanner Thorson winning each.

Adding to the excitement of the KKM Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations would witness the top four finishers from each preliminary night battle in a Pole Shuffle program to set the starting line-up for the top four rows of the feature event. Racing in a winner stays on the track playoff-type/single-elimination format, Daison Pursley would survive the onslaught on racing to earn a pole-position grid with Gavan Boschele also earning a front-row starting position as Brent Crews and Jeffrey Newell both raced through the event to start third and fourth in the feature.

Launching to green flag action would find pole-sitter Daison Pursley flying out to an early commanding lead as Jeffrey Newell and Gavan Boschele battled for the runner-up spot. With drivers, all vying for positions all over the smooth racing surface throughout the pack as Jonathan Beason, Steven Snyder Jr, and Frank Flud all climbed into running inside the top-six.

Hitting his marks with precision as the front-runner, Daison Pursley would start dealing with lap traffic quickly with Steven Snyder Jr racing his way into the runner-up position while trying to gain on the leader as the laps clicked away at a rapid pace.

Mid-race restarting would see Steven Snyder Jr use a quick inside line to maneuver himself into position to battle for the lead on the exit of turn four with momentum benefiting the low-line hustle of Snyder into the lead with Pursley sticking to the outside line staying close.

Late race dramatics would surface as caution flags would fly with six laps remaining to bunch the field back together as Snyder stayed to the bottom on the restart with Pursley riding the rim on the outside. Holding off the late-race surge, Steven Snyder Jr would emerge victorious in an epic finish to remember.

Celebrating in style Steven Snyder Jr noted “Throttle control was the key to win, I knew Daison was going to try to bang the fence down and my crew told me bottom pays the bills, so I stuck down there, and it was quick. I know I broke a shock by hitting the Ute-tire but you don’t use it that much running where I did.” With so much on the line, a tough decision would be made by Snyder, noting “I’m taking the ride to the Chili Bowl”.

Early leader Pursley would valiantly hold on to finish a close runner-up as Brent Crews placed third. Frank Flud would race his way through the field to finish fourth with Gavan Boschele rounding out the top five finishers at Port City Raceway for Saturday’s Championship Night of the Third Annual KKM Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations.

Gavan Boschele Gains Eibach Preliminary Night One Win in KKM Giveback Classic

Belleville, IL. (10/21/21) Packing the pits of Port City Raceway with an astounding eighty-two entries, the Lucas Oil POWRi 600cc Outlaw Non-Wing Micro portion of the Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic would witness a split field of Eibach Preliminary Night competition. Night One of edge-of-the-seat excitement would see Gavan Boschele finding the fastest line over the thirty-lap feature event.

Early racing action would find Bryant Wiedeman setting the fastest qualifying time with a speedy 9.950-second lap. Setting the preliminary night heat races by qualifying times, Gavan Boschele, Jake Nail, Johnny Boland, Gavin Miller, Connor Lee, and Frank Flud, would all earn heat racing victories. Qualifiers would find Cannon McIntosh, Jeffrey Newell, Gavan Boschele, and Baron Silva each gain the driving edges earning the early on-track battles.

Semi-Feature action would see Cameron Paul and Trey Robb both grabbing the b-feature victories with Frank Flud earning the night’s high-point qualifier award through early competition to notch a pole feature starting spot.

Frenzied green-flag feature racing action would witness front-row starters Frank Flud and Cannon McIntosh battle intensely for the front of the field on the first lap with McIntosh grabbing the early battling advantage to hold the early racing lead.

With McIntosh pacing the field in outstanding open-wheel action, Flud would mount a charge to the front and overtake for the lead after a hard-fought battle as Gavan Boschele also began to approach the front-runners with speed.

Frank Flud would appear to be the driver to beat as he set-sail out front and seemingly lapping traffic at will with Boschele, McIntosh, and Gavin Miller in hot-pursuit. With the laps ticking away Flud would encounter a lap-competitor running a similar line at a similar speed allowing Boschele to overcome Flud’s commanding lead.

Leading on the twenty-fourth lap Frank Flud would attempt to slide by the tricky lap-car on the inside-line, clipping the front-end and sending Flud violently flipping into turn three. The driver would be okay after the carnage, but the car would be unable to continue relinquishing the front.

Benefiting from running second and gaining the race lead after red-flag conditions were lifted, Gavan Boschele would not be denied on the final six circuits as he held off all challenges to earn the feature win. Boschele would show speed all event by flying to the front of the field from a sixth starting position after winning his heat race and qualifier competition.

“I had to stay patient before going into attack mode, Kevin and the team gave me a wicked fast car tonight and I knew I had work to do,” said Boschele in a celebratory victory lane. Going on to add “It feels good to be locked into Saturday, this adds a bunch of confidence. I know the track better now so we should be one to watch”.

Racing his way to a runner-up position from starting fifth would find Gavin Miller quickly making a name for himself with a solid showing as one-time leader Cannon McIntosh rounded out the podium finishers. Jeffrey Newell would place fourth to earn the final automatic lock-in position of the night that moves into Saturday’s Championship Night of the Third Annual KKM Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations.

Daison Pursley Perfects I-44 to Win The Seventeenth Annual Charlene Meents Memorial

McIntosh was able to throw a slight challenge Pursley for the lead with 16 laps to go. McIntosh succeeded with the slide job to maintain the race lead momentarily as they hit lapped traffic. McIntosh endured heavy lapped traffic as Pursley squeaked back by for the lead. Last night’s winner, Kofoid stormed through the field to earn the third-place position.

A late race red with five laps to go for Chance Crum lined the cars back up for a single file restart. Throttling around the outside, Pursley maintained his lead over teammate Kofoid who earned the second position from McIntosh. From there, Pursley commanded the field with ease as he worked the high line to capture the Seventeenth Annual Charlene Meents Memorial victory and his fifth Lucas Oil POWRi National win on the season.

Buddy Kofoid brought his No.67 home in the second position, Cannon McIntosh in third, Chase McDermand in fourth and Chance Crum rounded out the top five to finish off the three-day race weekend in Oklahoma.

Kofoid Goes Two-for-Two on the Weekend in Oklahoma

Oklahoma City, OK. (10/15/2021) The Penngrove, CA. native, Michael “Buddy” Kofoid found himself victorious at I-44 Riverside Speedway for the Charlene Meents Memorial to claim his ninth win on the 2021 season with the Lucas Oil POWRi National & West Midget League. Kofoid earned his second feature event on the three-day race weekend, he will aim to sweep the weekend tomorrow for the final night of the Meents Memorial at I-44.

Cannon McIntosh and Jake Neuman brought the 24-car field to the green flag for the 30-lap main event. McIntosh jumped out to the early lead, but Kofoid stayed right on his tail in second. Right off the bat, Kofoid and McIntosh treaded spots for the lead as a red flag flew for Austin Barnhill upside down on lap 6.

As the laps wound down, McIntosh remained in the lead with Kofoid behind and Jake Neuman in third. With 7-laps to go Kofoid perfected his corner and took the lead from McIntosh, right as they get into lapped traffic. McIntosh, running second found himself upside down in turns 3&4 after battling the technical corner.

After the restart, Kofoid crossed the finish line to win the Charlene Meents Memorial and picked up his ninth win on the 2021 season with the POWRi midgets. The Keith Kunz Motorsports stable swept the podium with Christopher Bell, the TRD hard charger finishing in second, and Dasion Pursley in third. Jake Neuman finished in fourth, and Brenham Crouch rounded out the top five for the 30-lap main event.

“These KKM cars are super good through the ruff, I think we have one of the best cars out there, really at any track but especially at tracks like this.” Buddy Kofoid

“It was pretty tough, the track made us earn it tonight, and Buddy was obviously on the ragged edge tonight. Man, it’s crazy how time goes on, ten years ago I would have loved these conditions and today I was just trying to get through there without crashing.” Christopher Bell

Oklahoma City, OK. (10/15/2021) Joe B Miller out of Millersville, MO. earned his 43rd career Lucas Oil POWRi 600cc Micro Sprint League victory and his third on the 2021 season, tonight at I-44 Riverside Speedway.

Craig Ronk and Scotty Milan started side-by-side on the front row for the 20-lap feature. As the green flag waived, Ronk found himself out to an early lead, as he elected the top side of the track. Milan followed close in second as the field hit lapped traffic only 7 laps in. The race came to a stop as the No.59 of Brody Mclaughlin got upside down in turn 3&4.

Back green, Ronk still led the field as Milan trailed behind and Miller in third. All Lucas Oil POWRi Micros were trailing the bottom side of the track, but Trey Robb back in the fourth position ventured out to the top side. Meanwhile up front, the battle for the lead intensified as Joe B Miller found his way to take the lead from Ronk on lap 14.

With six laps left in the books, Miller extended his lead over Ronk in second and took the win for the Charlene Meents Memorial and checked off his third Lucas Oil POWRi 600cc Micro Sprint League Presented by Engler Machine & Tool Feature Event.

Buddy Kofoid Wins 2nd Annual Donnie Ray Crawford Sooner State 55

Tulsa, OK. (10/14/2021) Michael “Buddy” Kofoid of Penngrove, CA picked up where he left off with the series and earned his Keith Kunz team the Annual Donnie Ray Crawford Sonner State 55 victory at Port City Raceway in Tulsa, OK. Kofoid dug himself out of his 19th starting position to charge his way to the lead to capture his eighth Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League Victory of the year.

On the opening lap of the 55-lap feature event, the pole sitter, Cannon McIntosh jumped out to an early lead on the bottom side of the track. McIntosh immediately took command and caught the beginning of the lapped traffic. With only 6 laps down, McIntosh tangles with a lapped car and comes to a stop. Tanner Berryhill assumed the lead as the field got brought back to green.

As the drivers settled in for the long run, Berryhill found himself with a big advantage over the rest of the field and continued to grow his lead. Jake Neuman, Ryan Timms, Tanner Thorson, and Christopher Bell slid each other for positions two through five. After a few cautions bunched back up the field, on a restart Ryan Timms slid Berryhill for the lead and prevailed shortly as they make contact and Timms stopped on the track.

On the restart with 33 laps to go, Berryhill re-assumed the lead with Christopher Bell following in second, Tanner Thorson in third, and Buddy Kofoid in fourth. Kofoid slowly made his way up to third and then set his sights on the top two. As Berryhill and Bell are battling close for the top spot, Kofoid splits them both in turn 1&2 and goes from third to first to take over the lead.

As soon as Kofoid found himself in the lead, he never looked back and went on to capture his eighth Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League Victory. Christopher Bell finished in second, Cannon McIntosh in third, Bryant Wiedeman in fourth, and Tanner Berryhill rounded out the top five.

The Lucas Oil POWRi National & West Midget League will be back in action tomorrow, Saturday, October 15 at I-44 Riverside Speedway.

ROOKIE CHIARAMONTE GETS 1ST LUCAS OIL POWRi SOUTHWEST LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR VICTORY

(Lakeside, CA, October 8, 2021) Impressive rookie driver Braden Chiaramonte notched his first POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series main event win at the Barona Speedway last Saturday night. In addition to capturing the winner’s trophy, Chiaramonte moved up to the number two spot in the championship standings in the second-year series.

Braden Chiramonte won his first ever SWLS race at Barona last Saturday. SWLS Photo.

Series point leader Grant Sexton kicked the night off when he won the first eight lap heat race of the night from the pole. Sexton’s father Brent and San Diego’s A.J. Bender placed second and third. Chiaramonte got his night off to a great start when he emerged victorious in the second heat from the outside of the front row. Norco’s Rudy Padilla and Peter Benker of Alpine took the place and show spots.

For the main, Brent Sexton was off the pole with Bender alongside. Row two featured the exciting teen combo of Grant Sexton and Chiaramonte. Row three was made up of Padilla and Benker.

When the race commenced, Bender, who also races in the USAC/CRA Series, was the first to turn one with Chiaramonte, Brent Sexton, Bezio and Grant Sexton in tow. Early on, Chiaramonte began to pester Bender for the top spot. He looked high and he looked low, but every time the wily veteran was equal to the young driver’s challenges. Brent Sexton was just behind the lead duo. By the time the race completed its fifth circuit around the San Diego County dirt oval, the top three were a half straightaway in front of fourth place Bezio and Grant Sexton.

Bender was the first car to the lapped traffic on lap seven and that is when Chiaramonte seriously tested the race long leader. He pulled alongside Bender in turn three, but by the time they came off four, Bender had once again fended off his young challenger. A few moments later, the first yellow flag came out when Lakeside's Cody Griggs came to a stop on the track.

After Griggs car was taken off, Bender was in the lead for the restart with Chiaramonte, Brent Sexton, Grant Sexton and Bezio rounding out the top five. Once again, Bender was the first to turn one, but misfortune was about to strike. In the middle of the corner, he bounced off the inside berm throwing open the inside line. That was all young Chiaramonte needed. He spotted the opening and guided the white AM Ortega/Hyper Racing/OCC Motorsports/RTL Traffic Control/Aim Sports Data/NGK Spark Plugs/Off Road Warehouse/Swift Powder Coating/Hyper Chassis/2019 Suzuki 1000 into the lead.

Once he commandeered the top spot, Chiaramonte left the competition behind and immediately opened a 10-car length lead. As he continued to pull away, Brent Sexton, who has been having a great second half of the season, raced inside Bender coming off the second corner on lap 12. Grant Sexton also got by Bender one lap later, but by that time, Chiaramonte was a full straight in front and the chances of either Brent Sexton or his son catching the leader, were slim and none. However, the odds slightly changed when Ryan Dumas came to a stop on the inside of turn two on the 15th circuit bringing out a yellow flag.

That yellow saw Chiaramonte’s lead completely disappear for the restart. This time, the field did not get one lap completed before the red flag brought a halt to the action. Bezio had a problem on the front straight and pulled to the wide line to stay out of everyone’s way. That was not the issue. Turn two, which was the sight of most of the action in the main event, was the scene of a wild five car tangle that saw four of the combatant’s flip. Benker, Brent Horn of El Cajon, Jim Squire III from Lakeside, and El Cajon’s Jon Squire all ended up in a tangled heap. Fortunately, they were all uninjured, but their cars were not, and they were done for the night. The only driver to continue from the rumble was Padilla.

The lengthy red flag to clean the mess up did nothing to slow Chiaramonte. On the final restart of the race, he quickly separated himself from the six cars still running. Showing all is fair in love and war, Grant Sexton gave his dad a shot on the restart and proceeded to pass him in turn two for the runner up spot. But by that time, Chiaramonte was long gone. When the checkered ended the final SWLS race of the year at Barona, Chiaramonte was once again a full straight in front. Grant Sexton was second with Brent Sexton third. Ryan Dumas of San Diego and Padilla rounded out the top five.

D.J. Dumas of El Cajon was the main event "Hard Charger" finishing sixth after starting 11th.

Grant Sexton has one hand on the 2021 championship trophy. He has a commanding 122-point advantage over Chiaramonte. Chiaramonte’s victory saw him pass Bezio to take over second in the standings. Rookie Matt Sotomayor of Alpine, who missed the race due to an off-track injury, and Padilla round out the top five.

In addition to Saturday's race being the last stop at Barona for the SWLS, it was also the last winged race of the year. However, the season still has two races to go. On December 4th and 5th, the series will conclude its 2021 campaign with the “1st Annual Lettuce Cup” at the Imperial Valley Speedway. Both pre-Christmas races will be wingless, and they will be co-sanctioned by the WMR Midgets.

Daison Pursley Finishes Fall Brawl Weekend on Top at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex

Sweet Springs, MO. (10/02/2021) Daison Pursley out of Locust Grove, OK. finished off the Fall Brawl Weekend at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex with a trip to Victory Lane. Pursley found himself dominating the competition at the short track for night No. 2 on the weekend by capturing Auto Meter Heat Race No. 3 and earning himself the Max Papis Innovations High Point Man to start on the pole of the 30-lap main event.

As the field came around for the green flag, the pole sitter Daison Pursley jumped out to the early lead, and brought teammate Buddy Kofoid with him to follow along in the second position. Right off the bat two instant cautions brought the field to a single file restart, and Pursley still prevailed with the lead. Keith Kunz Motorsports teammates ran positions one, two, and three as the field navigated through lapped traffic only 10 laps in. Kofoid found himself catching Pursley in traffic right as the red flag came out for Taylor Reimer in turn 3&4.

With eleven laps completed, Pursley brought the 25 car field back to green. Kofoid slid Pursley to try and take over the lead once again, but Pursley pulled ahead. Behind the leaders, the current Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget Points leader, Bryant Wiedeman and Kaylee Bryson trade positions for third. Wiedeman claimed the position as Bryson bobbled the cushion in turn four and came to a stop. As the field came back to green, Pursley led, Kofoid second, Wiedeman in third, Andrew Felker in fourth and Tanner Berryhill in fifth.

The top five cars space themselves out but positions six through ten battle five wide around the track to gain positions. Pursley gaps himself from second place and rode the top side to find himself in Lucas Oil POWRi League Victory Lane for the fourth time this season at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex. Buddy Kofoid finished second, Andrew Felker in third, Bryant Wiedeman in fourth, and Jace Park rounded out the top five.

Crews Captures Seventh Lucas Oil POWRi Midget Win on the 2021 Season

Sweet Springs, MO. (10/01/2021) Brent Crews of Denver, NC prevails once again and earned himself a trip to victory lane at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex. The rookie behind the wheel of the CBIndustries No. 86 has been dominating this season with the Lucas Oil POWRi National & West Midget Leagues, and tonight he claimed his seventh feature event of the season. Crews carries great momentum into tomorrow's portion of the Fall Brawl at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex.

At the start of the 30-lap feature, the pole sitters, Kaylee Bryson and Daison Pursley on the outside, led the field to green. Pursley took to the bottom side of the race track and led lap one. Bryson fell back to the second position and Brent Crews followed along in third. As a couple of cautions came out for multiple drivers stopped on the track, the field was still led by Pursley.

Teammate to Pursley, Buddy Kofoid tracked down the top two and shortly got the lead away from Pursley on lap 17 after a restart. Kofoid struggled with the cushion which allowed the field to catch him and contest for the lead. After a few late race cautions, the leader Kofoid ran out of fuel after a restart which gave Crews the lead. With four laps to go, Crews kept the lead and went on to win his seventh career Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League feature event.

Hoover Goes Wire to Wire to Earn First Career Win

Tulsa, OK (September 26, 2021) Emilio Hoover from Jenks, Oklahoma, added his name to the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League record book Saturday night at I-44 Riverside Speedway by leading wire to wire en route to his first career Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League Feature Event.

Starting from the pole position, Hoover put his Team Ripper No. 21 out front early. Mason Daugherty, Kyle Jones, and Tanner Berryhill all followed close behind him and battled for positions. Berryhill took a few shots at a pass for the lead, only to have a caution flag fly for debris on the race track. On the restart Hoover once again jumped out front and never looked back. Jones found himself in the runner-up position for the second time in as many nights and Berryhill rounded out the podium. Andrew Felker finished fourth and Hank Davis earned the Schure Built Suspensions Hard Charger award with a 13th to fifth place run.

The POWRi West series will head to to Sweet Springs, Missouri next weekend Friday, October 1st and Saturday, October 2nd for a co-sanctioned event with the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League.

Marcham makes late race pass to win at Tulsa Speedway

Tulsa, Oklahoma (September 24, 2021) The Newcastle, Oklahoma native Trey Marcham made a late race charge to pass Kyle Jones and claim his second win of the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League season.

At the drop of the green flag, Marcham, who started seventh for the main event, methodically worked his way through traffic as Jones took the early lead away from Emilio Hoover. Jones paced the field through multiple cautions while Hoover, Andrew Felker, and Hank Davis battled for positions behind him. Hoover brought out the night’s lone red flag after tagging the wall in between turns three and four, collecting Davis.

When racing resumed, Felker and Shannon McQueen traded passes as Marcham continued to work his way forward. With less than five laps to go, Marcham and Jones put on a show, but Marcham prevailed and captured the win. Jones followed in second, with Felker third, McQueen fourth, and Tanner Berryhill earned the Keizer Wheels Hard Charger award, moving from 15th to round out the top five.

POWRi West will be back in action Saturday night at the always exciting I-44 Riverside Speedway in Oklahoma City.
