Eldon, MO. (5/24/26) Sam Hafertepe Jr would use a late race restart to steal The Ozark Wave Breaker at Lake Ozark Speedway with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League seasonal event after leading six laps to claim his fourth career league victory.
Launching the night’s battles with thirty-two entrees, Joel Myers Jr would set the quick qualifying time of 12.653 seconds with John Barnard, Kaleb Johnson, Seth Bergman, and Gage Montgomery taking the heat racing wins as Jace Park would emerge victorious in the semi-feature action.
Establishing the feature field with high-point qualifier Joe B Miller and Sam Hafertepe Jr lined up on the front row, Sam Hafertepe Jr would take the initial on-track advantage with Joel Myers Jr, Joe B Miller, Dylan Bloomfield, and Roger Crockett forming the early running top five.
Keeping the leading pace for most of the feature, Joel Myer Jr would appear to be the car to beat as the laps began to wane, when caution would bunch the field back together for late race drama at Lake Ozark Speedway.
Overtaking for the lead on the white flag lap after setting the stage on a lap twenty-eight restart, Sam Hafertepe Jr. would use precision on a diamond line in turns one and two to lead the final pair of corners to notch the win. Hafertepe Jr would advance a spot throughout the twenty-five-lap feature event to gain the initial win of the year in the hard-fought feature event.
“This bald guy can still get it done, we were a little tight early, but as the track changed, I knew it was a matter of time before the car came into its own”, said Sam Hafertepe Jr in victory lane. Adding, “This car was so good in turns one and two, I knew we had it in the bag with the late race restart. This was a fun one, hats off to the track crew for giving us this track tonight with all the rain last night.”
Remaining close, leader of nineteen laps, Joel Myers Jr would hold steady in the runner-up position as Kyle Bellm would conclude the podium placements, with Gage Montgomery and Kaleb Johnson rounding out the top five finishers at Lake Ozark Speedway with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League.
