Belleville, IL. (6/25/22) Cannon McIntosh continued his hot-stretch on Saturday Night at Macon Speedway, leading all thirty laps to earn his tenth career Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League victory in a very technical and tricky Night Four of the Ninth Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek.
Early Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League competition with a stout field of thirty-one entries would find Bryant Wiedeman clock a 10.489-second lap to earn the quickest hot-lap time with Cade Lewis, Karter Sarff, Cannon McIntosh, and Kaidon Brown each earning heat racing victories as Jade Avedisian earned the Semi-Feature win.
Launching the field on the initial green flag launch would find high point qualifier Cannon McIntosh line up with Cade Lewis on the outside of the front row with McIntosh using the high-side momentum to shoot out to the early racing advantage.
Holding off the onslaught of racing restarts while out front, Cannon McIntosh would notch his fourth win of 2022 with Kaidon Brown continuing to impress notching a career-high runner-up placement as Karter Sarff stayed towards the front of the field finishing third.
“Between managing the tires and maintaining the restarts, the race was nerve-racking for sure. I tried to play it easily on the throttle, but I also knew I had to push hard on the final two laps with Kaidon right there, great team win without a question. ” said the victorious McIntosh in the Macon Speedway victory lane.
Slicking off in the late stages of the feature event would find Bryant Wiedeman lock-up fourth place with Andrew Felker rounding out the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers in the intense feature finale at Fayette County Speedway.
