Bruns WINS POWRi/ILLINI D-II Season Opener

Competitors came out in droves for the debut of the Nutech Seed DII Midgets. The class, which is part of the POWRi Lucas Oil DII Midget tour, had 24 entries for the night's activities. When the green waved, Champaign, IL driving veteran Patrick Bruns shot to the front of the pack with young gun Hunter Lane in the second spot. With just a couple of yellows slowing the pace, and one red flag for a wild flip in turn three, the cars paced the oval at high speeds.

Down the stretch, Lane followed closely and looked to challenge on a number of occasions but could not make the run needed to dismount Bruns from the lead spot. At the checkered, Bruns was followed by Lane, Jake Neuman, Tyler Vantoll, and Max Pozsgai. Andy Baugh accepted the Conklin Agrovantage Front Row challenge, going to the tail trying to win a $400 bonus. Baugh made his way to sixth but ran out of time in the large field.
