Blake Hahn takes Turnpike Challenge opener at Creek County

SAPULPA, Okla. — Blake Hahn would use precision and a little bit of luck to earn his first career feature win at Creek County Speedway, with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, in Night One of the 11th Annual Turnpike Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV’s thirty lap showcase event.

Early on-track excitement with twenty-nine entries the POWRi National and West Midgets would find Cannon McIntosh start the action off with quick-time in hot laps of 13.382-second lap as Kale Drake, Jake Neuman, Blake Hahn, and Cannon McIntosh would each notch heat racing wins with Jonathan Beason earning the semi-feature victory.

Starting the feature field would find high-point qualifier Lane Goodman, lead the field as the green flag flew with Jake Neuman gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap from starting outside front row as Ryan Timms, Cannon McIntosh, Blake Hahn, and Zach Daum all circled inside the early contending top five.

Swapping positions several times in the early stages of the feature event would find Ryan Timms taking over the top spot from Jake Neuman as Blake Hahn and Cannon McIntosh battle within inches for third and fourth as Ashton Torgerson, Kale Drake, Zach Daum, Kris Carroll, Kyle Bellm, and Lane Goodman all raced inside the top-ten.

Appearing to be the class of the field, Ryan Timms would show the fastest way around Creek County Speedway for most of the event until late race dramatics would appear as a lap car would stall right in front of the leading Timms, taking him from the competition.

Inheriting the lead with three laps remaining, Blake Hahn would hold steady out front while protecting the lead from a quickly gaining Cannon McIntosh that placed in the runner-up positioning ahead of three lap leader Jake Neuman that finalized the podium placements.

“I hate that we didn’t get to battle it out for the win with Ryan, he is a great aggressive talented driver that I enjoy racing against,” said the victorious Blake Hahn in the Creek County Speedway winners circle. Adding, “We have a rocket right now, anytime I get to stand here in victory lane in front of friends and family is what this is all about.”

Staying in the hunt all event, Ashton Torgerson would finish fourth with Kris Carroll hard-charging past eleven other competitors to round out the POWRi National and

West Midget League top-five finishers in Night One of the 11th Annual Turnpike Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV running at Creek County Speedway.
