POWRi West Sooner Series wraps up with Creek County’s Fall Fling
By Lonnie Wheatley (Tulsa, OK) -- The Sooner Series portion of the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget Midget League presented by Executive Concrete NWA wraps up the 2018 season with this weekend’s “Fall Fling” at Sapulpa, Oklahoma’s Creek County Speedway.
The two-day event run in conjunction with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour takes place on Friday and Saturday with racing action going green at 7:00 p.m. on both nights.
While it concludes the Sooner Series slate of events, the overall POWRi West Midget League finishes out the season along with the POWRi National Midgets at Kennedale Speedway Park in Kennedale, TX, on November 9-10. In total, more than $12,000 in points fund money is up for grabs in the POWRi West Midget League and POWRi West Sooner Series action for 2018.
Springfield, Missouri’s Kory Schudy is leading the way in both the overall POWRi West Midget League points as well as the Sooner Series standings.
Schudy holds a substantial lead in overall POWRi West points over Sand Springs’ 14-year-old Hank Davis with Nixa, Missouri’s Wesley Smith and the Broken Arrow duo of Hannah Adair and Hunter Fischer rounding out the current top five. Adair sits second in Sooner Series points behind Schudy followed by Trey Marcham and Blake Edwards with Fischer and Bixby’s Cannon McIntosh tied for fifth.
In total, 15 different drivers have picked off at least on POWRi West feature win through 22 events this season with Broken Arrow’s Jonathan Beason leading the way with three triumphs.
Alex Sewell and Jason McDougal split POWRi West victory honors during the 2016 edition of Creek County Speedway’s “Fall Fling” before last year’s event fell victim to inclement weather.
