Kyle Spence Secures KKM Giveback Classic Night Two Victory with POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micros

Belleville, IL. (10/21/22) Kyle Spence would ride the high side to perfection with the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro League on Friday’s Engler Machine Preliminary Night Two of the Fourth Annual Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations to notch his first career league feature victory.

Entering a stout field of sixty-one split-field Night Two competitors in the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro League at Port City Raceway would witness Braden Chiaramonte start the night quickest with a 10.389-second qualifying time. KJ Snow, Chelby Hinton, Trey Robb, Chris Cochran, Daniel Robinson, Jeffrey Newell, and TJ Smith would each earn the heat race victories. Qualifier winners would include Chris Cochran, Sam Johnson, Jayson Campbell, and KJ Snow as Brant Woods and Jeffrey Newell would be victorious in semi-feature action.

Flying into the thirty-lap feature event would find high-point qualifier and inside front-row starter Chris Cochran combat with the front-row companion Kyle Spence as Chris Cochran would lead the opening lap with Kyle Spence, TJ Smith, KJ Snow, and Kale Drake trailing closely behind the leader on the low-line.

Spreading out over the smooth and fast racing surface, Chris Cochran and the field would be bunched back together after a lap-nine caution. Restarting quickly, Cochran stuck to the low line with Kyle Spence running the high side.

TJ Smith would blast to the lead around the mid-way point using a low-line maneuver with precision as Kyle Spence followed suit around Chris Cochran as KJ Snow and Sam Johnson rounded out the running top-five.

Renewing intense on-track action after a lap-sixteen caution would see TJ Smith and Kyle Spence battle in two very different lines with high-line running Spence gaining the lead off of a huge and precisely timed turn-four run with low-side Smith staying close behind with Kris Carroll, Sam Johnson, Kale Drake, Darren Brown, Jayson Campbell, Braden Chiaramonte, Jace McIntosh, and Jett Yantis all running inside the tight top-ten to set up late-race dramatics with a caution waving on lap twenty-seven.

Holding steady on the late-race restart, Kyle Spence would not be denied in victory while claiming his first career league win in an action-packed thirty-lap feature with TJ Smith resulting in a terrific runner-up finish.

“Man, what a race, I knew TJ would go for it as clean as possible and I really thought he would throw a bomb at the end and we both stuck it. I was pretty lucky the top stuck the whole thirty laps as it did and there is always that possibility of over-driving it” said Kyle Spence in the Port City Raceway winner’s circle for the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micros.

Staying in the hunt for the front after advancing twelve positions, Kris Carroll would notch a solid third with Kale Drake placing in the fourth and final automatic lock-in for Saturday’s feature as Sam Johnson rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro League feature in Preliminary Night Two of the Fourth Annual Keith Kunz Motorsports Giveback Classic presented by Max Papis Innovations at Port City Raceway.
