TULSA, Okla. — Brandon Carr would lead every lap of the 30-lap main event on Saturday Night to earn his first feature win while battling at Port City Raceway, with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, in Night Two of the 21st annual Charlene Meents Memorial.
Beginning the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Brandon Carr and Brecken Reese battled as the green flag flew, with Brandon Carr gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap using a speedy inside line, with Brecken Reese testing the stability of a treacherous outside curb running second.
Protecting the lead every step of the way throughout an action-packed main event, Brandon Carr would not relinquish the preferred position with Brecken Reese staying close on the high line as Bradley Cox, Michael Faccinto, Kale Drake, Matt Sherrell, Kameron Key, Gavin Miller, and TJ Stark feverously battled within the top ten.
Clinging to the lead for all thirty laps would find Brandon Carr undeniable in capturing his first career POWRi victory as the action ensued for the full feature event, with Brecken Reese placing in the second position as Michael Faccinto cruised into the final podium placement late.
“I knew I had to stay chill and keep my nose out of trouble, it feels great to get my first win at such an amazing and technical track,” said Carr. “Great team effort all weekend, they had this car so even that I tried the top once and knew I would be fine anywhere, so I went back down to the bottom and held on until the checkers.”
Staying with the leading pack all night, Bradley Cox continues to impress by moving forward seven positions to finish fourth, with Kameron Key moving up thirteen spots to round out the top five.
