TULSA, Okla. — Frank Flud emerged victorious in the Championship Night of the headlining Seventh Annual Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations to claim his third career victory with the POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro League at Port City Raceway.
Flud led 54 of the 67 laps.
“I’ve got a really good ride with Jody Rosenboom for the Chili Bowl, so I’m going to take the money, but maybe Keith will let me turn on some wrenches or something this winter,” said Flud in victory lane in reference to the ride or prize money question.
Going through an impressive field of 05 entries of the POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro division in the KKM Giveback Classic would find Kale Drake set the quick non-lock-in group qualifying time with a time of 9.743 seconds. Jacob Moseley would emerge victorious in E-Feature with Seth Stenzel and Kameron Chamness winning D-Features as Kale Drake and Jonathan Beason took the C-Feature checkers to set up Jett Nunley and Cole Roberts ahead in the B-Feature results.
Flying onto the smooth Port City Raceway surface for Championship Night feature racing in the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations, event high point qualifier and dash winner Kris Carroll would battle outside front-row contender Frank Flud as the green flew with Kris Carroll holding the front of the field over the first fourteen laps.
Taking the top spot on lap 13, Frank Flud would pass for the lead as Kris Carroll, Chris Andrews, Cole Roberts, and Brecken Reese battled closely behind the sought-after preferred position.
Holding court over the final revolutions, Frank Flud would not be denied while claiming his third career POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro victory as Cole Roberts would finish in the closely contended second spot after starting tenth, with fifth starter Chris Andrews finalizing the podium placements.
“Such a huge win for me, we didn’t have the best car on track, but it was all about track position tonight,” said Frank Flud in the Port City Raceway winner’s circle. Adding “I’ve been after this one for a while, and it feels good to say, I’m an old guy that got it done tonight”.
Driving from a 21st start, Brecken Reese would hard-charge through the field to lock down the fourth spot as eighth starting Wout Hoffmans rounded out the top five.
