PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. — Karter Sarff charged to the front late at Lincoln Park Speedway on Friday night, leading the final five laps to earn his first POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League feature victory.
High-point qualifier Ryder McCutcheon and Bryce Norris led the field to green in the evening’s feature, with McCutcheon grabbing the early advantage. Sarff settled into second as Norris, Gage Montgomery, and Ayrton Gennetten completed the top five during the opening stages.
McCutcheon appeared poised to collect his first career series victory, pacing the field through the first 20 circuits. However, while navigating turns one and two, McCutcheon caught the cushion and surrendered the lead, opening the door for Sarff to take command.
Once out front, Sarff never looked back, leading the final five laps and holding off the closing challengers to secure his first POWRi victory.
“It feels good to get the win after what feels like two months since we last raced it at Eldora. Happy to get laps in and keep learning every time behind the wheel,” said Sarff. “We hope to keep running more wing stuff, but I can’t thank this crew enough for giving me the opportunity. Such a fun, clean race tonight with all these drivers.”
Dylan Bloomfield charged forward late in the event to finish second, while Montgomery third. Joe B. Miller finished fourth, with Gennetten rounding out the top five.
