MACON, Ill. — Nearly 100 cars attended the three-day “Cornfield Combat” event at Macon Speedway, which featured non-wing micros, restricted micros and junior sprints.
The three days of on-track action built up to the $5,000-to-win, Saturday night race for the HART Non-Wing Micros.
Only the best 22 drivers of the 63 attendees made the 35-lap feature event. Polesitter Frank Flud was one of the leading favorites for the weekend. The Oklahoma native started on the front row and took the early lead. His closest challenger for much of the event was Johnny Boland, before a flip with five laps to go eliminated him from action.
Flud held off the hungry pack of challengers down the stretch to claim the win over Kyle Spence and Austin Saunders. Matt Carr and Todd Kirkman completed the top five in a micro field that was represented by over 10 U.S. states.
Missouri driver Brody Bridgeman took the victory in the restricted winged micros over Callan Hill, Jace Cooksey, Eli Holden and J.J. Williams.
Rounding out the Saturday night action were the youngsters in the junior sprints. Miken Iverson took the victory, while Braxton Flatt, Jagger Wiggs, Grayson Cooksey and Kaden Wells completed the top five.
