TULSA, Okla. — Jacob Denney would be undenied on his way to earning his fourth feature win battling at Port City Raceway, with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, on night three of the annual Turnpike Challenge.
Denney led 16 laps of the 40-lap main event on the eighth-mile race track.
Commencing the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Thomas Meseraull and fellow front-row driver Gavin Miller lead the field as the green flag waved with Meseraull gaining the initial advantage after an opening lap caution.
Refiring with Meseraull lined up on the low line and Denney lined up outside, the field would come back to green with action aplenty all around the speedy Port City Raceway as caution would cease the excitement as Cannon McIntosh flipped while battling for podium spots.
Claiming victory after two-straight runner-up finishes, Denney would hold steady up front in the final revolutions to earn his first win of 2025 with leader of 24 laps Thomas Meseraull placing second.
McIntosh recovered from his flip to place third.
“We’re never satisfied in second place, I was trying to make four wheels in the fluff work with the track tonight,” said Denney. “I knew it was going to come down to the restart so I just had to stay close to T-Mez for a chance at winning.”
Remaining in the hunt all event, Chance Morton would hard-charge through the field to finish fourth with Corbin Rueschenberg rounding out the top five.
