WHEATLAND, MO (September 13, 2024) — Jake Bubak would ride the high line of Lucas Oil Speedway to pay the Night Two payday with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial to notch his second league victory after only leading two of the twenty-five laps in an outstanding feature event.

Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty talented entrants of the POWRi 410s would see Jace Park set a quick qualifying time of 13.289-second lap with Chris Martin, Noah Gass, Kyle Jones, and Chase Randall each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Chase Randall and Jace Park lined up in the front row as Jace Park would gain the lead on the opening lap with Chase Randall staying in close pursuit.

Sliding for the lead in early action would find Chase Randall jumping the cushion out of turn four and going for a wild ride into the front-stretch wall as the driver would be okay yet unable to continue the race with Jace Park maintaining the top spot.

Firing back off out front, Jace Park would amass over a three-second margin of lead with Noah Gass and Jake Bubak battling behind as Joe B Miller and Kyle Jones stayed within the contending top five.

With lap traffic quickly coming into play the leading Jace Park would be unable to maneuver past the back of the field pack as Jake Bubak rapidly cut the lead as the final few laps started to wind down with caution bunching the field back together with only a trio of revolutions left in the feature event.

Overtaking for the top spot with only a pair of laps remaining, Jake Bubak would not be denied in earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with the leader of twenty-three laps Jace Park settling into the runner-up position as the final checkers waved.

“We didn’t struggle for power tonight that’s for sure,” said an elated Jake Bubak in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I was able to find the speed on the top right before the yellow came out, so on the restart, I just stuck it up there and rode the monster drive on the high side”.
