Eldon, MO. (8/31/24) Kameron Key would set sail and lead the final seventeen laps with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night One of the POWRi Triple Sprint Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second league victory and pocket the $5K-payday in an outstanding feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-seven talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 11.648-second lap with Kameron Key, Joe B Miller, and Sterling Cling each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Kameron Key lined up in the front row as Xavier Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Kameron Key, Miles Paulus, Joe B Miller, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.
Leading by nearly a three second advantage over the first nine laps, Xavier Doney would appear to be in the head of the class only to jump the cushion in turn two ending his night with wall contact as Kameron Key inherited the lead after the caution.
Protecting the front of the field in a very technical track, Kameron Key would never flinch with the lead over the final seventeen laps with Joe B Miller and Ayrton Gennetten keeping close throughout the middle of the race.
Holding steady over a last race restart, Kameron Key would not be denied in earning his first seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Derek Hagar hustling into the runner-up position late after starting twelfth.
“I haven’t been getting a lot of calls this summer to drive so I am very thankful to the McGarry family for the opportunity and their continued support,” said Kameron Key in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I had to act like more of a reserved racer tonight knowing that I would be better at around 80% then I would be running all out, tonight it really paid off to be patient”.
Challenging closely behind would find point leader Ayrton Gennetten placing on the final podium placement from the starting sixth on the initial green flag. Miles Paulus would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Bryce Norris would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Night One of the POWRi Triple Sprint Showdown presented by Start2Finish at Lake Ozark Speedway.
