Andrews Ends POWRi Micro League Drought

TULSA, Okla. – Chris Andrews captured his first win since 2012 with the POWRi Engler Machine & Tool 600cc Outlaw Micro League Thursday night at Port City Raceway.

Andrews won his heat race and started the 20-lap feature fourth behind Steven Curbow, Joe B. Miller and Matt Ward. Andrews was fast right off the bat and took the lead on the second circuit.

Choosing a unique line through the middle as others battled on the top and bottom of the eighth-mile track, Andrews slowly checked out from the rest of the field.

A few early cautions caused the field to stack back up, but Andrews never skipped a beat. Behind Andrews, Miller had his hands full with the field. Frank Galusha and Curbow were right there fighting for positions while the leader, Andrews, caught lapped traffic.

Andrews was undaunted as he led the rest of the way to pick up the victory, with Galusha outrunning Miller to take second.

“Justin Blevins is all of the success behind my success,” Andrews said. “He is the man behind the scenes that makes me look good, and I can’t thank him enough. I knew we were going to be good at the end and that it was all up to me at that point.”

The finish:

1. 8-Chris Andrews   2. 12-Frank Galusha   3. 51B-Joe B Miller   4. 1V-Johnny Boland   5. 20S-Steven Curbow  6. 10-Brock Berreth   7. 51W-Matt Ward   8. 25J-Delaney Jost   9. 14H- Harley Hollan   10. 14K-Noah Key   11. 8K- Tyler Kuykendall   12. 49-Joel Smith   13. 1-Bryant Wiedeman   14. 92-Adam Lambert  15. 08E-Elizabeth Phillips   16. 22M-Rees Morgan   17. 11B-Kaylee Bryson  18. 97-Scott Milan   19. 21-Ty Hulsey   20. 6-Christopher Townsend   21. 5T-Ryan Timms   22. 122-Lane Warner   23. 44T-Trevin Littleton  24. 1H-Connor LeeÂ
