Belleville, IL (9/9/22) Trey Marcham would reign supreme at Tulsa Speedway for the first night of a two-day stand-alone sweep through the Sooner State with the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League presented by Realty Connect to score his tenth career league victory.

Launching to the initial green would find Kyle Jones aiming to win the night with outside front-row companion Talin Turner locked in an intense battle for the top spot as Jones would gain the early advantage.
Keeping the front of the field, Kyle Jones would appear to be the driver to beat as Talin Turner and Trey Marcham began an intense battle for the runner-up positioning. Marcham would snag second-running as he set his sights on the front-runner.
Proving to be quickest on the event, Trey Marcham would emerge victorious for the second time in the season as Kyle Jones would finish runner-up with Michelle Decker to the final podium placement.
“I knew we had a fast car tonight; this team always gives me something special. I think I broke something in those last five laps but I wasn’t about to let up, out-front like that, I was going to drive this thing until it broke fully. The car stayed together and it feels good to be here in victory lane,” said a winning Trey Marcham.
Emilio Hoover placed fourth with Talin Turner showing speed all event to round out the top-five finishers for the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League presented by Realty Connect at Tulsa Speedway.
