Tulsa, OK.

Entering a stout field of fifty entries in split-field preliminary night one of the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro division on Engler Machine and Tool Preliminary Night One of the KKM Giveback Classic would find Jeffery Pahule set the quick-qualifying-time with a lap time of 9.825-seconds. Corbin Rueschenberg, Daison Pursley, Joe B Miller, Johnny Boland, Cannon McIntosh, and Brody McLaughlin would each gain hard-fought heat racing victories as Baron Silva, Chase Cabre, Johnny Boland, and Colby Sokol would take the qualifier wins.

Flying onto the track for Engler Machine and Tool Preliminary Night One feature racing for the Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations would see the high point qualifier Daison Pursley battle outside front-row contender Joe B Miller as the green flew with Daison Pursley holding the front of the field for the first few fast-paced laps around Port City Raceway as Joe B Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Cameron Paul, and Colby Sokol all battled inside the early contending top five.
Leading through consistently quick lap times, Daison Pursley would maintain the front of the field over a very close running Joe B Miller and Cannon McIntosh as Colby Sokol and Cameron Paul continued within the top five with Chelby Hinton, Chase Cabre, Brody McLaughlin, Jeffrey Newell, and Braden Chiaramonte running inside the contending top ten as caution would bunch everyone back together for a lap eleven restart.
Continuing with the lead by over one second into the final ten fast-paced laps, Daison Pursley would not leave the quick lap times of the top side of Port City Raceway with action aplenty behind the leader with Joe B Miller, Colby Sokol, Jeffrey Newell, and Brody McLaughlin locked in a battle within the top five placements.
Adding late-race dramatics with a caution on lap twenty-five to bunch the field back together in restarting formation with five laps remaining, Daison Pursley would stick to the fastest path and would hold steady up front for his third career POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro victory as Joe B Miller would finish in the closely contended second spot with Jeffrey Newell finalizing the podium placements.
“I knew going into the night the initial start was key, I was able to gain the lead early and hold it, I didn’t feel that comfortable during practice but we should be pretty good come Saturday,” said the victorious Daison Pursley in the Port City Raceway victory lane for Engler Machine and Tool Preliminary Night One of the KKM Giveback Classic. Adding, “It’s really cool to see all the great competitions here at Port City Raceway and how lucky we are to have this place”.
Keeping a solid showing all night, Colby Sokol would place fourth as Brody McLaughlin rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League presented by Rush Race Products feature in Engler Machine and Tool Preliminary Night One of the KKM Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations.
