CANTON, Ill. — Dylan Bloomfield raced to his first POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League victory Saturday night at Spoon River Speedway, taking the lead with 12 laps remaining and holding off a hard-charging field to claim the win.
Xavier Doney and Cameron Martin led the field to green for the 25-lap main event, with Doney jumping out front and setting the early pace. John Barnard, Bloomfield, Martin and Gage Montgomery settled into the top five as the race began to take shape.
As traffic entered the equation near the halfway point, Bloomfield closed quickly on the leader. While navigating slower traffic, contact between Doney and Bloomfield on the backstretch resulted in Doney spinning, handing the lead to Bloomfield with 12 laps remaining.
Following the restart, Bloomfield maintained control while Barnard, Kelby Watt, Gage Montgomery, and Ayrton Gennetten battled closely behind him for position.
Bloomfield never faltered over the closing laps, driving away to secure his first POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League victory.
“I don’t like winning in controversy. We may have made contact going into three with the lap traffic, making it tricky. But we’re here to win, and that’s exactly what we did tonight. The car was so fast all night,” said Bloomfield. “I can’t thank this entire crew enough because it feels amazing to park it on the top of the frontstretch tonight.”
Kelby Watt earned Hard Charger honors, advancing eight positions to finish second, while Colton Fisher completed the podium in third.
