FORT WORTH, Texas — Jacob Denney continued his early-season dominance, scoring his third consecutive victory and 12th feature win with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues in the debut event at the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.
Denney led all 30 laps of the fast-paced feature to secure the win in commanding fashion.
Leading the field to green in the feature were high-point qualifier Drake Edwards and Weston Gorham, but it didn’t take long for third-starting Denney to make his move. Charging off turn two on the opening lap, Denney surged to the lead and never looked back.
From there, Denney maintained complete control up front while battles raged throughout the field behind him. Gavin Miller, Edwards, Karter Sarff, Colton Robinson, and Matt Sherrell all stayed within striking distance early, but none could challenge the pace of the leader.
At the checkered flag, Denney capped off a dominant performance with his third straight victory. Robinson delivered an impressive drive, advancing 15 positions to finish second, while Sarff rounded out the podium.
“With a car this good, as long as I do my job, it kind of takes care of itself,” said Denney. “Hats off to my team for giving me such a great piece. Luckily, the cautions came at a good time, so I didn’t have to deal with much lap traffic.”
Gavin Miller remained a factor throughout the night before finishing fourth, with Chance Crum recovering from an early-race issue to complete the top five.
