SPOON RIVER, Ill. — Paul Nienhiser won his second Built Ford Tough MOWA Sprint Car Series Delivered by Morrow Brothers Ford feature in as many nights Saturday night at Spoon River Speedway.
Nienhiser used his third-place starting position to his advantage tonight, working his way to the front ahead of front-row starters Dustin Barks and Steve Short.
Nienhiser won Friday night’s MOWA feature at Iowa’s Lee County Speedway.
“I felt that we had a really good car here tonight. We were able to pick up right where we left off last year, here at (Spoon River), as we won our last MOWA race back in September. It’s a really good feeling to go home after tonight, sweeping the weekend,” said Nienhiser.
Second-starting Short held onto his position for most of the feature and was able to record a second-place finish for his first race in Spoon River in at least 15 years.
Kyle Schuett scored his first career podium finish in a sprint car with his third-place run at Spoon River. Schuett was followed to the line by Jordan Goldesberry and Jim Moughan, who finished fifth.
