PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. — Parker Price Miller would use precision on a mid-race restart to claim his first league checkers with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League.
The race was run in conjunction with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing FAST on DIRT Sprints presented by Ti Performance, in Night One of the Hoosier State Hustle presented by Start2Finish TV to earn the hard-fought feature victory at Lincoln Park Speedway.
It was the second victory in as many nights for Price Miller, who won the Ohio Speedweek race at Waynesfield Motorsports Park the previous night.
Thomas Meseraull and Scotty Milan lined up in the front row as Meseraull would gain the lead on the opening lap with Dylan Norris, Xavier Doney, Joe B Miller and Emerson Axsom all raced within the top five.
Leading the first half of the race, Thomas Meseraull would appear to set sail in clean air as laps ticked away with Emerson Axsom moving into a close contending runner-up position with Axsom overtaking for the lead on lap 16.
Using a lap-17 restart with perfection, Parker Price Miller would fly to the front of the field past Axsom and Doney maneuvered his way into a top three battle with Miller and Meseraull.
Holding steady out front for the final 14 laps, Price Miller would not be denied in earning his inaugural career POWRi 410 Sprints victory in an action-packed main event with Emerson Axsom hustling into the runner-up position late.
“We were fast all night and it was really fun coming through the pack but I just feel bad for tearing everything up on the cool-down lap,” said Price Miller. “Ruined my night after the checkers now we have to work tonight fixing stuff when we should be celebrating.”
Contesting closely behind would find Doney placing on the final podium placement from the starting sixth on the initial green flag.
