Wesley Smith Stars In POWRi Sprint

ODESSA, Mo. — Wesley Smith claimed his third POWRi WAR sprint car feature of the season as the series shared the grand re-opening bill with the World of Outlaws at I-70 Motorsports Park.

Zach Daum would lead the pack of talented WAR drivers to the initial green-flag start as Wesley Smith used the high line to gain the racing advantage on the first lap establishing himself as the early leader.

Smith would proceed to pull away from the field as the green flag racing laps started to click off. With Smith out front dealing with lapped traffic, Zach Daum, Mario Clouser, Jack Wagner, and Riley Kreisel would all attempt to run down Smith.

Drivers would slice and dice for positions throughout the field as red flag conditions would appear simultaneously as the checkered flags.

As Smith was crossing the finish line, third-place runner Riley Kreisel flipped wildly into turn three collecting Brad Wyatt.

Smith crossed the checkers first claiming the feature win, Zach Daum would finish in the runner-up spot as Mario Clouser was third.

The finish:

1. 44-Wesley Smith[2]; 2. 311-Zach Daum[1]; 3. 6-Mario Clouser[4]; 4. 77-Jack Wagner[3]; 5. 31-Joe B Miller[7]; 6. 11W-Wyatt Burks[6]; 7. 91-Riley Kreisel[5]; 8. 93-Taylor Walton[10]; 9. 73-Samuel Wagner[13]; 10. 9H-Mitchell Moore[14]; 11. 37-Brian Beebe[11]; 12. 16-Anthony Nicholson[15]; 13.
