INDIANAPOLIS, IN (April 28, 2018) - Riley Kreisel picked up his first POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League win Saturday night, April 28 at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri in a dominating performance over Mario Clouser and JD Black.
Kreisel led all 25 laps banging the cushion around the top of the racetrack. The battle for the remaining top five was close and exciting, but Kreisel would run away with the race lead to take home $1,500 in winnings plus a $100 bonus for winning the dash. Quinton Benson who won the B-Main and successfully transferred into the A-Main would be the Indy Race Parts Hard Charger award winner after starting 17th and finishing 4th. Slater Helt, Mitch Wissmiller, and Mario Clouser were heat race winners.
The POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League is back in action next weekend for a doubleheader. Friday, May 4 at Valley Speedway followed by Saturday night, May 5 at Lucas Oil Speedway. Both nights will also have the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League on tap.
