ELDON, Mo. — Brenham Crouch sealed the deal at Lake Ozark Speedway’s Fall Sprint & Midget Nationals on night one to capture his second career victory with the Lucas Oil POWRi National and West Midget Leagues to kick off a weekend holiday celebration of speed.
Setting the field of competitors would find pole starter Taylor Reimer battling front-row counterpart Brenham Crouch into the first pair of corners on the opening lap with Reimer gaining the early racing advantage on the opening laps.
Grabbing the front of the field around lap 10, Brenham Crouch would not be denied in the caution-free 25-lap event with the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League to earn the feature victory.
“This team gave me a real hot-rod tonight, I knew I just had to do my part and hold the front,” Crouch said.
Staying close in the entire feature, Chance Crum would secure a solid showing of runner-up with Gavan Boschele completing the feature’s final podium placement.
Tenth-starting Cannon McIntosh would hard-charge his way to finish fourth as Bryant Wiedeman rounded out the top five.
