Belleville, IL. (5/5/23) Alex Midkiff would secure his first career victory with the POWRi Outlaw Micro League presented by Engler Machine & Tool in the Mid-State Nationals at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex after leading every lap in an action-packed Friday Night.
Entering a stout field of POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro competitors, Riley Kreisel would clock overall quick-time in hot laps with a 12.678-second lap as Alex Midkiff and Dylan Kadous each earned heat racing victories with Midkiff earning the night’s high-point qualifier accolade.
Securing the front for the full twenty-lap feature, Alex Midkiff would not be denied victory while claiming his inaugural career league win in an intense and action-packed feature. Staying in the hunt for the front Dylan Kadous would result in a runner-up finish from starting third as Kale Drake would finalize the podium placement after hard charging through the field from starting eleventh.
“I came here for double duty; I hate what happened earlier with the midget but I’m happy to be here right now. I knew it was going to be bottom dominate and I just had to hold my ground because Dylan was going to be there if I left the room,” said a victorious Alex Midkiff in the SSMC winners circle ceremony.
Jackson Frisbie would place fourth as Trey Schleicher would advance a pair of positions to round out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League feature at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex for the Mid-State Nationals.
