Tulsa, OK. (10/11/24) Cannon McIntosh would use a perfect restart early and hold on late to earn his twenty-sixth career feature win battling at Port City Raceway, with the POWRi National Midget League, in Night One of the Rujo Rumble after leading twenty-six laps of the rousing thirty lap feature event.
Speedy on-track excitement with thirty-nine talented entries in the POWRi National Midgets would find Gunnar Setser start the action off with quick-time in single car qualifying with a 9.421-second lap as Jeffrey Newell, Zach Daum, Gavin Miller, Alex Sewell, and Kameron Key would notch the heat racing wins. Semi feature winners would include Jody Rosenboom and Jonathan Beason.
Launching the feature field would find the rookie of the year high-point qualifier Gunnar Setser and league point leader Cannon McIntosh, lead the field as the green flag flew with Gunnar Setser gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Zach Daum, and Gavin Miller all maneuvered inside the initial top five.
Bunching the field back together after a lap four caution, Cannon McIntosh would use a perfect restart in the Honest Abe Choose Cone to shoot to the lead using high side momentum to carry out a great turn two pass for the lead with early leader Gunnar Setser and Kameron Key staying close inside the podium running.
Setting sail and cruising through lap traffic, Cannon McIntosh would go uncontested for the majority of the feature while leading the final twenty-six laps around Port City Raceway with Kameron Key sliding into the runner up positioning late with leader of four laps Gunnar Setser placing in the final podium placement.
“That restart was everything, with everything happening so quickly here and getting into lap traffic so fast I really have to be finding lines ahead of things,” said Cannon McIntosh in the Port City Raceway winner’s circle. Adding, “Feels great to get this win with a solid team effort tonight, hopefully we can get another one tomorrow.”
Remaining in the hunt all event, Zach Daum would finish fourth with Gavin Miller rounding out the POWRi National Midget League top five finishers in Night One of the Rujo Rumble at Port City Raceway.
