Keith Kunz Challenge at Sweet Springs

Jett Hays in SSMC’s KKM Challenge $10K-Championship Night with POWRi Outlaw Micros

Belleville, IL. (9/9/23) Jett Hays would show speed all weekend and lead late to win the KKM Challenge at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex with the POWRi Outlaw Micro League presented by Engler Machine & Tool on Championship Night to claim his first seasonal league victory and a $10K payday.

Entering a stout field of sixty entries in the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro division would find Preliminary Nights Lock-in’s Steven Snyder Jr., Jett Hays, Johnny Boland Dylan Kadous, Gavin Miller, Frank Flud, Aiden Purdue, and Austin Saunders contend in a four-lap, three-round, ‘King of the Springs’ style pole-shuffle dash with Steven Snyder Jr besting gauntlet-running eighth-to-second running Aiden Purdue at the line.

Early competitive action would find Chevy Boyer winning the lone C-feature event with Chelby Hinton and Kale Drake racing their way into the main event by each winning their respective semi-features.

Flying onto the track for Championship Night feature racing would see ‘King of the Springs’ pole-shuffle winner Steven Snyder Jr and outside front-row contender Aiden Purdue leading the field to green as Steven Snyder Jr would hold the front of the field for the first handful of action-packed circuits around Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex as Aiden Purdue, Jett Hays, Johnny Boland, Frank Flud, Gavin Miller, Sam Johnson, Kale Drake, Dylan Kadous, and Chelby Hinton all battled inside the top five.

Bunching the field back together after the first race caution on lap six would find the speedy Steven Snyder Jr. smoothly restarting while protecting the lead as Aiden Purdue and Jett Hays continued to mount a charge on the lead while separating from the pack with Gavin Miller and Frank Flud rounding out the first five competitors.

Jostling for positions after caution flags reset the field once again would find Snyder continuing to show the fastest way around the smooth track surface as Aiden Purdue and Frank Flud began to battle for the runner-up position with Gavin Miller moving into striking position running fourth while Jett Hays protected fifth from a quickly gaining Kale Drake and Sam Johnson.

Hitting the two-thirds mark of the feature event with Steven Snyder Jr. running the top-line out front and Aiden Purdue pacing in second on the low-line, Gavin Miller would close in as Jett Hays and Kale Drake stayed persistent behind the front-running pack.

Using a late-race restart to his advantage, Jett Hays would jump into the lead by a turn-four maneuver with Gavin Miller following suit into the runner-up spot as Kale Drake would move into the third spot as Dylan Kadous and Austin Saunders rounded out the top-five with one-time leader Steven Snyder Jr suffering tire-issues to bring out the caution with six laps remaining.

Protecting the top spot through thick and thin in the final six laps would find Jett Hays earning one of the biggest wins of his career and first career POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro victory as Gavin Miller would finish second with Dylan Kadous rounding out the final podium placement.

“I faded a little bit early but recovered late because this car was really fast tonight,” said Jett Hays in the Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex victory lane for Championship Night of the KKM challenge. Adding, “This means a lot, every day we put the time in the shop so it feels good to pick up the win. Now to try to carry momentum down in Texas at Micro Mania”.

Upholding a solid showing all event, Kale Drake would place fourth from starting tenth as Austin Saunders rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League main event in Championship Night of the KKM Challenge at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex.

Gavin Miller Masters SSMC’s KKM Challenge Night One Win with POWRi Outlaw Micros

Belleville, IL. (9/7/23) Gavin Miller would advance five positions early then lead the final twenty-three laps to win the KKM Challenge at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex with the POWRi Outlaw Micro League presented by Engler Machine & Tool on Preliminary Night One to claim his inaugural seasonal league victory.

Entering a stout field of fifty-six entries in the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro division, Gavin Miller would clock the quickest qualifying time with a 12.517-second lap. Heat race winners would include Tyler Kuykendall, Peter Smith, Jaxon Bishop, Jett Hayes, Corbin Rueschenberg, and Aiden Purdue with Jaxon Bishop, Steven Snyder Jr., Braden Chiaramonte, and Jett Hayes each claiming qualifier victories as Kenton Brewer and Kale Drake would earn the semi-feature wins.

Flying onto the track for Preliminary Night feature racing would see high point qualifier Steven Snyder Jr. and outside front-row contender Jaxon Bishop leading the field to green as Steven Snyder Jr. would hold the front of the field for the first five circuits around Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex as a remarkable test of driving skills would be displayed behind the front-running few.

Early feature racing action would find Gavin Miller overtaking for the lead on lap three with Peter Smith, Steven Snyder Jr., Chelby Hinton, and Jett Hayes maintaining solid showings while battling intently inside the running top-five.

Restarting from a mid-race caution on lap twelve would witness Gavin Miller establishing another great run at the front of the field as Steven Snyder Jr., Aiden Purdue, Johnny Boland, and Jett Hayes raced inside the top-five as the laps began to click away at a rapid rate with action aplenty throughout the tight pack of drivers.

Stretching into a commanding lead, Gavin Miller would appear to be a mission by checking out on the field as Steven Snyder Jr. and Aiden Purdue would swap sliders on both ends of the speedway for the runner-up position as a caution would wave to restack the field for a late-race restart.

Launching back into green flag action with four laps remaining would witness Gavin Miller hold steady in the prized position to earn his first career POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro feature win as Aiden Purdue would finish second with Steven Snyder Jr. rounding out the final podium placement.

“I have to thank Keith and the team for giving me a great car and to the track for giving us multiple lanes of racing,” said Gavin Miller in the Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex victory lane for Night One of the KKM challenge. Adding, “It took me a couple of laps to get going but once I got into a good rhythm, I knew I had a good shot at the win”.

Maintaining a solid showing all event, Jett Hayes would place fourth as Kale Drake would hard-charge from eighteenth to round out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League main event in Preliminary Night One of the KKM Challenge at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex.
