MACON, Ill. — Jacob Denney led all 30 laps to earn his seventh career feature win while battling at Macon Speedway, with the POWRi National Midget League Friday night.
Opening the feature saw high-point qualifier Cannon McIntosh and Denney lead the field as Denney gained the initial advantage on the opening lap with the field finding positions in side-by-side action throughout the pack.
Setting sail up front, Denney would not falter from the front of the field by holding the top spot for all revolutions around the fifth-mile dirt track as action aplenty ensued behind the front-running leader.
“I just knew that we had to get out of the gate early and make some moves,” said Denney. “I felt like I could get through lap traffic really well while clearing cars pretty easily. I could put this car anywhere, time to go for two straight tomorrow.”
Remaining in the hunt all event, Cannon McIntosh was the runner-up with Gavin Miller rounding out the podium.
Battling all night, Karter Sarff finished fourth with rookie-of-the-year leader Colton Robinson fifth.
