Belleville, IL. (10/20/22) Steven Snyder Jr would secure the victory by using the low-line in the Prelim Thursday night feature event with the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro League presented by Engler Machine and Tool in Night One in the Fourth Annual Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations to notch his ninth seasonal feature victory.
Entering a stout field of fifty-six split-field Night One competitors in the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro League at Port City would find Daison Pursley start the night quickest with a 10.327-second qualifying time. Daison Pursley, Caleb Pence, Brenham Crouch, Colby Sokol, Landon Ellis, Thomas Kunsman Jr, and Sammy McNabb would each earn the heat race victories. Qualifier winners would include Daison Pursley, Frank Flud, Steven Snyder Jr, and Cannon McIntosh as Chase Spicola and Sammy McNabb would be victorious in semi-feature action.
Flying into the thirty-lap feature event would witness high-point qualifier and inside front-row starter Daison Pursley battle with the front-row companion Frank Flud in an all-Oklahoma front-row as Flud would lead the opening lap with Pursley running an inside line runner-up.
Bringing the field back together on a lap four caution would realign the field single-file with Frank Flud leading Daison Pursley, Jake Nail, Landon Ellis, and Cannon McIntosh all inside the top-five with Emerson Axsom, JJ Loss, Steven Snyder Jr, Thomas Kunsman Jr, and Brenham Crouch trailing.
High-side hustling the top trio would separate from the field with Daison Pursley sliding into the lead on lap ten as Frank Flud, Jake Nail, Cannon McIntosh, and Steven Snyder Jr began to encounter lap traffic with action throughout the pack.
Cruising to a comfortable lead, Pursley would again see the caution flag displayed with nine laps remaining as Steven Snyder Jr raced his way up into the runner-up position. Frank Flud and Jake Nail would battle with Thomas Kunsman, Cannon McIntosh, Emerson Axsom, Gunner Setser, Brenham Crouch, and Colby Sokol restarting inside the top ten.
Restarting with perfection would find Steven Snyder Jr snag the top spot using the low line in turns one and two with Pursley attempting to regain the lead as Flud, Nail, and McIntosh raced inside the top five.
Holding steady up front on the low line, previous year's winner Steven Snyder Jr would not be denied in victory while claiming his second career league win in an action-packed feature with one-time leader Daison Pursley resulting in a terrific runner-up finish.
“The lap cars really help me take the bottom and then I started to catch up to Daison and I knew either my car was coming in or his was going away. On the restart I knew I had to stay on my line, keep it under me and bide my time” said Steven Snyder Jr in the Port City Raceway winner’s circle for the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micros.
Staying in the hunt for the front all event, Frank Flud would notch a solid third with Cannon McIntosh placing in the fourth and final automatic lock-in for Saturday’s feature as Jake Nail rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro League presented by Engler Machine and Tool feature in Preliminary Night One of the Fourth Annual Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations at Port City Raceway.
