Entering a stout field of competitors in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex would find Willie Urish start the night out quickest with an 11.495-second hot-lap with John Barnard and Craig Ronk each earning heat race wins.
Racing onto the fast-smooth track, high-point qualifier and inside front-row starter Hayden Harvey would battle with Willie Urish starting the outside pole position as Urish would seize the lead on the opening lap in the feature.

Grabbing the lead from John Barnard by using a diamond move off turn four, Craig Ronk would emerge victorious to claim his seventh career league win after an action-packed feature with point-leader John Barnard resulting in a terrific runner-up finish.
“I can’t thank this crew behind me enough for giving me a hotrod every time I take the track,” said a celebratory Craig Ronk in the SSMC winner’s circle.
