FORT WORTH, Texas — Jacob Denney continued his early-season dominance by completing the weekend sweep at Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, earning his fourth consecutive victory and 13th feature win with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues.
Denney led 29 of the 30 laps in Saturday’s feature to secure the clean sweep.
High-point qualifier Denney and teammate Gavin Miller brought the field to green, with Denney jumping to the early lead as Miller, Kyle Jones, Mack Leopard and Colton Robinson settled into the top five.
As the race unfolded, Denney controlled the pace out front while the battle intensified behind him. Leopard worked into the runner-up position around the midway point, with Miller, Robinson and Brecken Reese all in pursuit.
In the closing laps, Leopard mounted a strong charge on the high side and briefly led one lap, but Denney responded immediately, reclaiming the top spot and holding off the late surge to secure his fourth straight victory.
“Such a good car yet again tonight, hats off to the whole team for giving me such a great car on such different tracks,” said Denney. “I had a good car on the bottom all night, then when it came in, I had a great car up top. Once Mack showed me the high side was faster, I knew it was time to move up and start ripping the lip.”
Mack Leopard crossed the line in second after a strong late-race effort, with Gavin Miller rounding out the podium. Kale Drake finished fourth, while Colton Robinson completed the top five.
