Wheatland, MO. (9/12/24) Ayrton Gennetten would set sail on cruise control out front with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial to notch his fifth yearly league victory and land the preliminary night one checkers in an outstanding feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Noah Gass set a quick group-qualifying time of 13.402-second lap with Kyle Jones, Jamie Ball, Brian Bell, and Joe B Miller each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Kyle Jones and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Ayrton Gennetten would gain the lead on the opening lap with Aaron Reutzel, Kyle Jones, Joe B Miller, and Jamie Ball all racing within the top five.
Battling valiantly, Ayrton Gennetten would appear to be a different division by leading over two-seconds through green flag action as lap traffic quickly came into play as the laps rapidly clicked away with Aaron Reutzel, Jamie Ball, Joe B Miller, and Kyle Jones all jockeying for positions inside the top five
Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, caution would bunch the field back together with Ayrton Gennetten capitalizing on the multiple refires with Aaron Reutzel keeping close to the leader throughout the final laps.
Leading all twenty-five laps, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning his eighth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Aaron Reutzel hustling into the runner-up position from starting sixth on the opening lap.
“It feels great to pull off the victory tonight and hopefully it sets the team up for a solid championship event,” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “The team is really clicking good right now and it feels great to be in a position to win each night”.
Challenging closely behind would find Joe B Miller placing on the final podium placement from the starting seventh on the initial green flag. Jamie Ball would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as thirteenth starting Scott Bogucki would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Night One of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.
