Wheatland, MO (September 21, 2017) - Logan Seavey made his POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint debut in stunning fashion by taking the Daum Motorsports 5D machine to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri for Night 1 of the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial against a staggering 56 car field. Dustin Morgan, Mario Clouser, Brandon Mattox, and Quinton Benson rounded out the top five.
Benson and Chris Phillips led the 22-car field to green flag racing. Phillips would lead early on with Seavey moving into second and challenging for the lead throughout the first half of the race. Around midway through the 25 lap A-Main event, Seavey had a great run going into turn 1 and drove around the outside of Phillips while Clouser snuck by on the bottom shuffling Phillips back to third and Seavey taking over the lead.
Dustin Morgan who had started eighteenth, after transferring through a B-Main earlier in the evening, charged through to the top five and was making his way towards a podium finish. Once Morgan made it to third, he and second-running Clouser exchanged monster sliders lap-after-lap until the red flag came out for Casey Wills who flipped wildly in turn four. He climbed out under his own power.
On the last restart, Seavey ran away to score his first POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint victory on his first attempt with the league while driving for Zach Daum Motorsports. Dustin Morgan finished second and Mario Clouser rounded out the podium.
The 7th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial continues Friday night September 22 at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.
An accumulation of points from Thursday and Friday night's events will decide the top six in points who will automatically lock in for Saturday night's A-Main event.
