Belleville, IL. (7/17/22) Kory Schudy would use the low-line to perfection in the debut of the Lucas Oil POWR Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex for the final night of the Thunder in the Valley Weekend Event to earn his eighth career feature victory.
Early on track accomplishments would witness Zach Daum clock top-time with an 11.856-lap as heat racing action would find Quinton Benson and Braydon Cromwell each earn a heat race competition victory.
Soaring into the initial start would see the high-point qualifier and pole-sitting Joe B Miller battle front-row companion Quinton Benson into the first pair of corners with Benson earning the lead the first few laps.
Racing into the lead would find Braydon Cromwell take the point of the pack as Kory Schudy, Anthony Nicholson, Joe B Miller, Quinton Benson, and Zach Daum all raced within striking distance of the lead around the mid-race point.
Finding the fastest low running line and making history, Kory Schudy would grab the front of the field and hold on to the lead to notch his second win this season within POWRi WAR as Anthony Nicholson would wheel his way to a solid runner-up placement with Zach Daum placing in the final podium position.
“We finally got it done tonight after two straight nights of runner-up and this feels great. What a fun race, we didn’t know what to expect but the track was racy and a fun place to get around” said an ecstatic Kory Schudy in the Sweet Springs Missouri winner’s circle.
Maintaining a solid showing all night would find Braydon Cromwell holding steady to finish fourth as a late-race surging Quinton Benson would round out the top-five finishers for the Lucas Oil POWRi WAR Sprint League feature event for Night Three of the Thunder in the Valley at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex.
