PARAGON, Ind. — Joe B. Miller earned a hard-fought victory in Saturday’s POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League main event at Paragon Speedway.
Fast-qualifier Thomas Meseraull and Noah Gass lined up in the front row with Gass leading the opening laps.
Using the Honest Abe’s Choose Cone to perfection by lining up on the inside of the front row while scored fourth, Joe B. Miller would use slide job momentum to fly into the top spot in turn two by overtaking the speedy leader as Gass attempted to keep pace.
Leading the final 23 laps, Miller would not be denied in earning his fourth career POWRi 410 Sprints victory in an action-packed main event with the early leader of seven laps Gass maintaining the runner-up position late with front nose damage.
“This was a whole team effort tonight, I’ve never been here before but this place was awesome,” said Miller said. “Big nasty curbs with a ton of speed on the straight, hopefully, we can carry momentum into tomorrow.”
Contesting closely behind would find Sterling Cling placing on the final podium placement from the starting fifth on the initial green flag. Kyle Jones and Meseraull completed the top five.
