Hoover Goes Wire To Wire At I-44

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Emilio Hoover added his name to the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League record book Saturday night at I-44 Riverside Speedway by leading wire to wire en route to his first Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League victory.

Starting from the pole position, Hoover put his Team Ripper No. 21 out front early. Mason Daugherty, Kyle Jones, and Tanner Berryhill all followed close behind him and battled for position.

Berryhill took a few shots at a pass for the lead, only to have a caution flag fly for debris on the race track. On the restart, Hoover once again jumped out front and never looked back. 

Jones found himself in the runner-up position for the second time in as many nights and Berryhill rounded out the podium. Andrew Felker finished fourth and Hank Davis was fifth.

The finish:

1. 21-Emilio Hoover 2. 7U-Kyle Jones 3. 17-Tanner Berryhill 4. 11A-Andrew Felker 5. 14-Hank Davis 6. 32-Trey Marcham 7. 00-Chase McDermand 8. 97-Mason Daugherty 9. 7-Shannon McQueen 10. 7X-Michelle Decker 11. 70-Cade Cowles 12. 44-Branigan Roark 13. 2S-Travis Scott
