Kicking off his pursuit for the POWRi National Midget Series championship, Gunnar Setser was one of 29 Midget entries in the pit area at Creek County Speedway (Sapulpa, Okla.) on Thursday for the opening round of the Turnpike Challenge.
Rolling off on the sixth row for the opener via a third-place heat result, Setser powered forward three spots in the 30-lapper to place ninth.
Back aboard the Midwest Tube Mills No. 43 Midget on Friday at Port City Raceway (Tulsa, Okla.), Gunnar stormed into the main event with a seventh-to-fourth showing in his heat. Collecting another top-10 finish, Setser rolled to a ninth-place outing.
Back at the eighth-mile oval on Saturday, Setser’s third-place finish in his heat positioned him on the sixth row for the weekend finale. Steering into the top-10, Gunnar moved forward four spots to cap off the weekend with an eighth-place finish.
With the first three events in the books, Gunnar is sixth in the POWRi National Midget Series point standings.
