Anderson Clinches POWRi Midget Championship with Win at
Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, ILL (Oct 3) - Brett Anderson of Belleville, IL led all 30 laps
of the O’Reilly POWRi presented by Lucas Oil “Herb Barlow Memorial” race at
Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, IL driving his family owned Spike
chassis Fontana powered midget. Anderson would start outside front row and
charge straight for the cushion while pole sitter Daniel Robinson would run
the low line. Brad Loyet, who started sixth, would also follow on the
cushion and give chase to Anderson. Anderson would hold a comfortable lead
until he came up on lapped traffic allowing Loyet to close the gap. A spin
on lap 23 would bring out the caution bunching the field up for a re-start.
On lap 24 Loyet would attempt to pass Anderson coming out of turn four with
a slide job but started to spin while attempting to pass. Anderson would
come into contact with the spinning Loyet car but did not sustain any
damage. Anderson would lead the final six laps untouched and cross the line
with the win and championship in hand. Following Anderson at the finish was
Derek King, Zach Daum, Jonathan Hendrick and Donnie Lehmann rounding out the
top five.
Ryan Langston of Greenfield, IN won his first POWRi feature of the year
leading all 20 laps of the O’Reilly POWRi presented by Lucas Oil 600cc
Outlaw Micro Sprint “Herb Barlow Memorial” event. Langston started outside
front row along side Nic Harris and would beat him to the bottom of turn
one. Langston would use the low line for the next 20 laps while Jake Mosley,
who started sixth, would maneuver his way around traffic to get to
Langston’s bumper but that was as close as he got. On lap 16 Mosley would
spin while running second and bring out the caution. That allowed Ryan
Guyett, who was running third at the time and started 13th, to take his
chance at Langston. On the restart, Langston was able to keep his momentum
up and lead the final four laps for the win holding off Guyett, Harris,
Brandon Graybeal and Jacob Patton rounding out the top five.
