Las Cruces, NM (July 8, 2017) - Kyle McCutcheon continued his hot streak over the weekend and picked up his fifth POWRi Lucas Oil WAR 305 Sprint League victory of 2017 at Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, New Mexico on Saturday, July 8.
Twenty-two Lucas Oil POWRi 305 Sprint Cars checked in at the Southern New Mexico Speedway with a great track on hand. Don Grable and Robert Herrera set the front row with Grable leading the first three laps until Tyler Jackson drew the first yellow on lap three for stopping in turns one and two. At the start Wes Wofford worked his way to second with twelfth starting position Kyle McCutcheon up to third in only four laps.
McCutcheon then battled Wofford for second, taking the position four laps later. Grable and McCutcheon then danced for the lead putting on a show with Grable not allowing McCutcheon around. A caution then flew on lap seventeen.
On the restart Grable was holding McCutcheon off until another caution flew two laps later for Don Grable this time. Grable found himself parked on the top of turn four giving his lead away to McCutcheon. With six to go "the Wildman" would finish leading the main event to win five straight WAR features at the Southern New Mexico Speedway.
