Steven Snyder Jr Earns POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro KKM Giveback Classic Preliminary Night One Win

Tulsa, OK. (10/17/24) Steven Snyder Jr would lead all green flag feature laps to win Preliminary Night One of the annual yearly installments of the Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic to claim his eighth seasonal victory with the POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro League battling at the outstanding hosting Port City Raceway.

Going through a strong split-field of forty-five entries on the prelim night one of the POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro division in the KKM Giveback Classic would find Cody Barnes set the quick qualifying time with a time of 10.174-seconds. Brant Woods, Chris Andrews, Darren Brown, Brody McLaughlin, and Justin Robison would each emerge victoriously in heat racing action with Kale Drake, Steven Snyder Jr, Jett Nunley, and Brant Woods all earning wins in qualifier competitions as Gunnar Pio and Daison Pursley would gain the semi-feature wins.

Flying onto the smooth Port City Raceway surface for Preliminary Night One feature racing for the opening night of the 2024 Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic would see the high point qualifier Steven Snyder Jr battle outside front-row contender Cody Barnes as the green flew with Steven Snyder Jr holding the front of the field with Kale Drake, Cody Barnes, Jett Nunley, and Frank Flud all staying close inside the early contending top five as a lap six caution would bunch the field back together.

Restarting in a smooth Honest Abe Choose Cone refire with Snyder low and Drake high side, Steven Snyder Jr would protect the top spot with perfection with Kale Drake sticking in second as Frank Flud, Jett Nunley, and Brant Woods all battled for the final podium placement.

Reforming the pack after a trio of mid-event cautions, Steven Snyder Jr would continue to set the pace around a speedy Port City Raceway ahead of Kale Drake guarding second as KJ Snow would begin to stalk the leading pair while keeping Frank Flud and Jett Nunley at bay inside the top five with Brecken Reese, Brant Woods, Daison Pursley, Gunnar Pio, and Justin Robison kept it close inside the running top ten at the half way point.

Never wavering through a long green flag run, Steven Snyder Jr would keep the prized position over a late race restart to capture his thirteenth career POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro victory as Kale Drake would finish in the closely contended second spot from starting third with KJ Snow finalizing the podium placements and auto-lock-in spots for Saturday.

“I was feeling good around the bottom early trying to keep Kale behind me then moved to the top around the lap ten restart and felt fast but almost like it was getting tricky late with the exit of two going all the way to the wall,” said Steven Snyder Jr in the Port City Raceway victory lane for Preliminary Night One of the Oklahoman KKM Giveback Classic. Adding, “Hopefully we can keep this momentum going into Saturday”.

Driving close to the lead pack all night, Frank Flud would place fourth as Gunnar Pio rounded out the top five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League feature in Preliminary Night One of the Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic at Port City Raceway.
