Belleville, IL. (6/22/22) Cannon McIntosh would emerge victorious at Charleston Speedway to earn his eighth career Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League feature victory in an action-packed thirty-lap thriller to jumpstart the Ninth Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek.

Early Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League competition with a stout field of twenty-four entries would find Cannon McIntosh clock a 12.905-second lap to earn the quickest hot-lap time with Maria Cofer, Jace Park, and Jacob Denney each notching heat racing victories as McIntosh would grab the high-point qualifier award to earn the feature’s pole starting spot.

Launching the field on the initial green flag launch would find Cannon McIntosh and Jacob Denney battle into the first pair of corners with McIntosh riding to the front of the field to lead the initial opening lap.

Cruising to a comfortable lead, Cannon would weather the storm of late-race restarts to hold off all challengers, earning his second feature win of 2022 with Jacob Denney finishing a close second in a hard-fought effort.

“I knew it was going to get slick, just not this slick, on one of the mid-race restarts I adjusted the shock set up a little but this team prepared a rocket-ship for me tonight,” said a celebratory Cannon in the Charleston Speedway victory lane.

Holding steady in the feature would find Karter Sarff finishing third with Bryant Weideman placing fourth as Maria Cofer rounded out the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers in the intense feature finale at Charleston Speedway.
