TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Ayrton Gennetten led the final 16 laps with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League feature Sunday night at the Terre Haute Action Track.
Gennetten earned his first series win of the season in a race that was co-sanctioned by the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing FAST on DIRT Sprints.
The initial green flag saw high-point qualifier Joe B. Miller and Gennetten on the front row as Miller gained the lead on the opening lap.
Overtaking for the top spot on lap four, second-starting Gennetten flexed his half-mile muscle to nab the front-spot over the field as Miller stayed close behind in second with Michael Bauer, Sterling Cling, and Xavier Doney within striking distance within the contending top five.
Holding steady over the final few laps as lap traffic came into play, Gennetten would not be denied in earning his league-leading ninth career POWRi 410 Sprints victory in an action-packed main event with Miller hustling late to place the runner-up position by only one-tenth of a second.
“We’ve struggled this week so it feels good to get the win at such an iconic and technical track. Hats off to my whole team for everything this weekend” said Gennetten. “Solid points night for us after proving how much we wanted to race here with all the track packing we did early to help set the surface.”
Kelby Watt finished third, with Ricky Peterson and Sterling Cling completing the top five.
