Belleville, IL. (6/24/22) Cannon McIntosh would lead every lap of the Lincoln Speedway feature event to earn his ninth career Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League victory in an action-packed thirty-lap event on Night Three of the Ninth Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek.
Early Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League competition with a stout field of thirty-five entries would find Hayden Reinbold clock a 12.978-second lap to earn the quickest hot-lap time with Chance Crum, Kyle Jones, Dominic Gorden, and Cannon McIntosh each earning heat racing victories as McIntosh would grab the high-point qualifier award with a seventh-to-first heat race drive to earn the feature’s pole starting spot.
Launching the field on the initial green flag launch would find Cannon shoot out to the early lead using a high-side approach as outside front-row companion Bryant Wiedeman would battle low-line into the first pair of corners.
Leading all revolutions around Lincoln Speedway, Cannon McIntosh would be challenged often by Wiedeman as well as Kyle Jones and Jacob Denney with McIntosh prevailing throughout the onslaught of action and late-race restarts.
“This feels special to get a second win in SPEEDWeek. We have built a lot of momentum as a team right now” said Cannon McIntosh in the Lincoln Illinois victory lane.
Fast-paced ending feature racing would find Brenham Crouch flying from starting eleventh to finishing runner-up as Kaiden Brown would repeat the previous night's placement with a second straight third-place finish.
Hard-charging from starting twentieth, Jake Neuman would finish in a hard-fought fourth with Chance Crum rounding out the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers in the intense feature finale at Fayette County Speedway.
