Crews Keeps Rolling At Sweet Springs

SWEET SPRINGS, Mo. — Brent Crews picked up his seventh Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League triumph of the season Friday night at Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex.

The rookie behind the wheel of the CBIndustries No. 86 has enjoyed a dominant second half of the season.

At the start of the 30-lap feature, the front row starters Kaylee Bryson and Daison Pursley led the field to green. Pursley took to the bottom side of the race track and led lap one. Bryson fell back to the second position with Brent Crews followed along in third.

As a couple of cautions came out for multiple drivers stopped on the track, the field was still led by Pursley. 

Teammate to Pursley, Buddy Kofoid tracked down the top two and shortly got the lead away from Pursley on lap 17 after a restart.

Kofoid struggled with the cushion, which allowed the field to catch him and contest for the lead. After a few late race cautions, Kofoid ran out of fuel after a restart, which gave Crews the lead.

With four laps to go, Crews kept the lead and went on to win his seventh career Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League feature event. 

Chance Crum finished second, with Karter Sarff third.
