LACROSSE, Kansas (July 5, 2021) – Twenty cars were in attendance for Saturday night’s show at Rush County Speedway in LaCrosse, Kansas with the Drive to Zero POWRi United Rebel Sprint Series Presented by Mel Hambelton Ford Racing. Saturday’s event saw Arcadia, Oklahoma’s Ty Williams sweeping the night.
A 5-lap dash lined up the first three rows of the feature, which placed Williams and Ray Seemann to set the pace. Williams took off with the early lead, but not without pressure from Nebraska’s Adam Gullion. Gullion and Williams traded off positions on the bullring for a large majority of the race. Williams would run the high line in one corner while Gullion rode the bottom lane, never losing sight of the race lead.
A late-race caution flew over the field, shaking up the mix of positions across the top-five. Seventh place starter, Zach Blurton got his nose into the battle by getting up to third, and battled hard for the top spot with Gullion and Williams. Ty Williams went on to the checkered with the victory, with Gullion, Blurton, Seemann, and Werner closing out the top-five finishers.
Heat races were won by Adam Gullion, Luke Cranston, and Ty Williams. The Keizer Aluminum Wheels hard-charger was awarded to Jed Werner, who finished fifth from an eleventh place starting position.
The Drive to Zero United Rebel Sprint Series are back in action tonight atop the famed half-mile of the Belleville High Banks in Belleville, Kansas. Hot laps will begin at 6:30PM, with racing at 7:30PM. Catch a fireworks show following tonight’s program. General admission is $20, kids ages 7-12 $10, and 6 and under free.
