Belleville, IL. (9/23/22) Mattix McBride would find success on every level Friday night at Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway in C. Bell’s Micro Mania with the POWRi Jr Sprint League preliminary feature event to claim his first league victory while solidifying an outside front-row starting spot for tomorrow night’s championship event.
Registering a stout field of thirty competitors in the POWRi Jr Sprint League at Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway would find Mattix McBride set the quickest qualifying time at a 14.114-second lap. Mattix McBride, Kinser Bloomquist, Cash Lacombe, and Oakley Wren each would claim heat racing wins with Sawyer McBride achieving the single semi-feature victory.
Cruising onto the recently reopened racetrack, the high-point qualifier Mattix McBride would use an inside front-row start to lead outside front-row companion Kinser Bloomquist on the initial laps as Cash Lacombe, Oakley Wren, Kaiden Lane, and Owen Larson all ran inside the top six.
Leading every circuit of the twenty-lap feature, Mattix McBride would not be denied in his quest for perfection while fending off the late-race restart from the field with Kinser Bloomquist crossing the finish line in a very close runner-up placement.
“The screen really helped me there, I seen them right on me the whole time and I knew what I had to do to get this big win,” said a very happy and victorious Mattix McBride as the feature winner at Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway in C. Bell’s Micro Mania with the Jr. Sprints.
Amongst the front-runners throughout the event, Oakley Wren would notch a solid third with Caleb Johannesen hard-charging to placing fourth as Kaiden Lane rounded out the top-five finishers in C. Bell’s Micro Mania at Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway with the POWRi Jr Sprint League feature for preliminary night two.
