From POWRi
Wheatland, MO. (9/18/26) — Riley Kreisel would flex his racing muscles during Night Two of the 16th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, leading all twenty-five laps to earn his fourteenth career POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League feature victory.
Night Two competition drew twenty-seven talented traditional sprint competitors as Wyatt Burks set the quickest group-qualifying hot-lap time of 14.903 seconds. Jack Wagner, Justin Zimmerman, and Riley Kreisel each earned heat-race victories, with Samuel Wagner capturing the semi-feature win.
Launching from the front row alongside Justin Zimmerman, high-point qualifier Riley Kreisel would gain the lead on the opening lap as Zimmerman moved into the runner-up position.
Separating himself from the field early, Kreisel would cruise to a comfortable advantage before Zimmerman began challenging for the top spot during the later stages. Behind the leaders, Rylan Gray, Jack Wagner, and Mario Clouser battled inside the contending top five.
Leading all twenty-five laps, Riley Kreisel would emerge victorious to earn his second POWRi WAR Sprint League win of the season. Staying within striking distance, Justin Zimmerman would finish runner-up as Rylan Gray completed the podium.
“We started really fast tonight, but it seemed like the longer we went, the tighter we got,” said Riley Kreisel in Lucas Oil Speedway Victory Lane. “The whole team earned this one. This car is just a blast to drive right now.”
Mario Clouser would finish fourth, with Jack Wagner rounding out the top five in Night Two of the 16th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.
