A POWRi WAR Weekend Sweep For Clouser

LEWISTOWN, Ill. – Mario Clouser completed a weekend sweep with the Lucas Oil POWRi WAR Sprint League on Saturday evening at Spoon River Speedway.

Clouser and Xavier Doney each wheeled their way to heat race victories to start off the evening, with Garrett Aitken claiming the night’s high-point qualifier award and earning the pole for the feature.

With Aitken leading the field to the initial green flag and Clouser lining up on the outside. Aitken would use the pole to his advantage and take over the lead in the opening stages, leading the first several revolutions around the fast high-banked track.
 
With slower traffic coming into play, Clouser would strike, pacing Aitken for multiple laps as Clouser would use a slide job on the exit of four to pass for the lead. Never giving up the front-running position, Clouser would earn his fourth feature win of the season with POWRi WAR. 

Aitken would finish second, with Mitch Wissmiller coming home third ahead of Xavier Doney and Riley Kreisel.

The finish:

1. 6-Mario Clouser[2]; 2. 32-Garrett Aitken[1]; 3. 29-Mitch Wissmiller[4]; 4. 74-Xavier Doney[3]; 5. 91-Riley Kreisel[5]; 6. 31-Zach Daum[7]; 7. 99-Korey Weyant[9]; 8. 8D-Andy Baugh[8]; 9. 8-Broc Hunnell[12]; 10. 7S-Wade Seiler[10]; 11. 88-Terry Babb[13]; 12. 27-Steve Thomas[11]; 13. 63-Will Armitage[14]; 14. 2A-Austin Archdale[15]; 15. 56-Mitchell Davis[6]
