SAPULPA, Okla. – Alex Sewell emerged as the winner of the final standalone race on the schedule for the Lucas Oil POWRi West Midget League Saturday as part of the Fall Fling at Creek County Speedway.
Alex Sewell would fly to the early lead with Chase McDermond, Tanner Berryhill, Trey Gropp and Jonathan Beason in hot pursuit. Sewell would maintain the lead through an early restart and appeared to be in a class of his own.
Cruising out to a commanding lead, Sewell would set his sights on slower traffic as drama would ensue in the latter stages of the feature as Beason was able to run down Sewell to contend for the victory.
Sewell would not be denied as he would lead every lap of the final night of the Fall Fling at Creek County to earn his first win with the series since his championship campaign of 2014.
Beason would finish second, with Trey Gropp, Tanner Berryhill and Emilio Hoover completing the top-five.
The finish:
1. 8-Alex Sewell[1]; 2. 8J-Jonathan Beason[6]; 3. 00-Trey Gropp[5]; 4. 40-Chase McDermand[2]; 5. 21K-Emilio Hoover[10]; 6. 93-Kyle Bellm[11]; 7. 17-Tanner Berryhill[3]; 8. 22C-Jace Park[9]; 9. 7M-Taylor Courtney[12]; 10. 47K-Kevin Brewer[8]; 11. 97-Matt Sherrell[4]; 12. #1-Justin Zimmerman[7]; 13. 7R-AJ Hopkins[14]; 14. 3PS-Lane Goodman[13]
