MACON, Ill. — Cannon McIntosh would not be denied in exciting the crowd and earning his 30th feature win at Macon Speedway, with the POWRi National Midget League on Night Two of Cornfield Combat presented by Start2 Finish.
Launching the feature field to green saw high-point qualifier McIntosh and Kyle Jones battling as Jones gained the initial advantage on the opening lap and hold the top spot for the first six laps in the feature.
Overtaking for the preferred position on the sixth lap, McIntosh overtook Jones for the top spot as Jacob Denney and Gavin Miller would follow suit with Jones and Karter Sarff all battling within the top five.
Holding steady for the final 24 laps, Cannon McIntosh would be masterful at Macon Speedway in earning his thirtieth career feature victory to tie him with Christopher Bell and Bryan Clauson for second on the all-time win list in POWRi history.
“Super special to get to this point in my career, I felt we left some things on the table last night, so it feels good to rebound after a disappointing second place,” said McIntosh. “Feels amazing to put my name in the same category as legends like Christopher Bell and Bryan Clauson. I couldn’t be here without all the great sponsors and the whole KKM team that makes it all possible”.
Keeping pace with the lead pack all night, Sarff would score the runner up finish as Denney recovered from an early race caution to drive back to the final podium placement.
Jones and Colton Robinson completed the top five.
