Marcham Makes Late-Race Charge

TULSA, Okla. — Trey Marcham made a late-race charge to pass Kyle Jones and claim his second win of the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League season Friday night at Tulsa Speedway.

At the green flag, Marcham, who started seventh for the main event, methodically worked his way through traffic as Jones took the early lead away from Emilio Hoover.

Jones paced the field through multiple cautions while Hoover, Andrew Felker, and Hank Davis battled for positions behind him. Hoover brought out the night’s lone red flag after tagging the wall in between turns three and four, collecting Davis.

When racing resumed, Felker and Shannon McQueen traded passes as Marcham continued to work his way forward.

With less than five laps to go, Marcham and Jones put on a show, but Marcham prevailed and captured the win. Jones followed in second, with Felker third, McQueen fourth and Tanner Berryhill earned the Keizer Wheels Hard Charger award, moving from 15th to round out the top five.

The finish:

  1. 32-Trey Marcham 2. 7U-Kyle Jones 3. 11A-Andrew Felker 4. 7-Shannon McQueen 5. 17-Tanner Berryhill 6. 97-Mason Daugherty 7. 3B-Shelby Boise 8. 00-Chase McDermand 9. 70-Cade Cowles 10. 21-Emilio Hoover 11. 44-Branigan Roark 12. 14-Hank Davis 13. 00A-Ace McCarthy 14. 22-Curtis Jones 15. 7X-Michelle Decker
