Cannon McIntosh Masterful in Jacksonville SPEEDWeek Night Two Win with POWRi National Midgets

Belleville, IL. (6/23/23) Cannon McIntosh would use late race dramatics to his favor at Jacksonville Speedway to capture his twenty-first career victory with the POWRi National Midget League feature event in Night Two of the Eleventh Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek festivities.

Early on-track competition with twenty-eight entries in the POWRi National Midget League would see Jade Avedisian start the action off with a quick hot-lap time of 12.114-second lap as Jade Avedisian, Thomas Meseraull, Karter Sarff, and Taylor Reimer each earned heat racing wins as well as Brody Wake earning the lone semi-feature race.

Setting the main event field would find high-point qualifier Jade Avedisian and front-row counterpart Chase McDermand each jockeying for positions as the green flag flew with Chase McDermand gaining the slight advantage on the opening lap with Thomas Meseraull, Jade Avedisian, Daniel Adler, and Steven Snyder Jr all racing inside the top five.

Finding the front of the field after an early race restart, Daniel Adler would overtake for the point of the field after McDermand misjudged the entry into turn one as Jade Avedisian and Thomas Meseraull pursued impatiently.

Witnessing Adler leading late, Cannon McIntosh would seem to wait until the perfect time to strike for the lead battle. Using the restart to perfection, McIntosh would launch to the lead using middle-track speed.

Holding the prized placement throughout the final five laps until the checkers waved would find Cannon McIntosh clinch his third POWRi National Midget League feature victory of 2023 while notching his second straight POWRi SPEEDWeek win.

“I honestly didn’t think we had a shot to win this one until the final caution came out with the choose cone really helping out in our track positioning,” said Cannon McIntosh in the Jacksonville Illinois victory lane ceremony. Adding, “I truly can’t say enough good things about this team and how well everything is going right now.”

Contending for the lead late, Thomas Meseraull would place a solid second as early leader of seven laps Chase McDermand would round out the podium placements. Hunting for the front would witness leader of fourteen laps Daniel Adler finish fourth as Jade Avedisian would round out the POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers at Jacksonville Speedway to start the Eleventh Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek.
