Thomas Meseraull headlines Jr Knepper 55

DU QUOIN, Ill.—Thomas Meseraull would use late-race heroics to earn his tenth career feature win while battling inside the Southern Illinois Center with the POWRi National Midget League after leading the final ten laps of the feature event honoring an industry icon at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds.

Speedy on-track excitement with forty-five talented entries in the POWRi National Midgets would find Brylee Kilmer start the action off with the quick-time of 9.658-second lap as Chris Andrews, Kole Kirkman, Christopher Bell, Zach Daum, Kale Drake, and Thomas Meseraull would each notch the heat racing wins with Devon Dobie and Gunnar Pike prevailing in the semi-feature events.

Bringing the feature field to green flag action would find the high-point qualifier Zach Daum and Brylee Kilmer battle as the green flag flew, with Zach Daum gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Trey Marcham, Thomas Meseraull, Daniel Robinson, and Brylee Kilmer all kept pace inside the early top five.

Leading steadily, Zach Daum would appear in fine form inside the Southern Illinois Center as the laps ticked away, with Thomas Meseraull, Trey Marham, Frank Flud, Daniel Robinson, Christopher Bell, Chris Andrews, Corbin Rueschenberg, and Kole Kirkman contending inside the top ten around the halfway point of the feature.

Using precision driving through lap traffic, Thomas Meseraull would strike for the top spot with only ten laps remaining as Zach Daum stayed within striking distance while keeping Trey Marcham, Frank Flud, and Daniel Robinson at bay inside the top five.

Holding steady over a late-race restart, Thomas Meseraull would not be denied in earning his second POWRi National Midget feature win inside the Southern Illinois Center over the past three years.

“This Ford was hooked up and ripping’ tonight,” said a thrilled Thomas Meseraull inside the Southern Illinois Center. Adding, “Feels great to finally get it done in 2025 after having a rough year. This place can turn into bumper cars, and you've got to do what you’ve got to do to get it done here.”

Remaining up front early-leader of thirty laps, Zach Daum would place runner-up with Trey Marcham finalizing the podium placements. Hard-charging from starting nineteenth, Kyle Jones would finish fourth with Daniel Robinson rounding out the POWRi National Midget League top five finishers in the Jr Knepper 55 at Du Quoin.

KAMERON CHAMNESS CLAIMS CHECKERS IN JR<KNEPPER WITH POWRi WING OUTLAW MICROS

DU QUOIN, Ill. --  Kameron Chamness would use patience and precision to earn his first career feature win inside the Southern Illinois Center at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds, with the POWRi Wing Outlaw Micro League, after leading the final six laps of the feature event.

Kicking off the night with twenty-eight talented entries in the POWRi Wing Outlaw Micros competitors, Daryn Stark started the action off with quick-time in hot laps of 9.317-second lap as Josh Marcham, Todd Kirkman, Case Piper, and Kole Kirkman would notch the heat racing wins with Brylee Kilmer taking the semi-feature victory.

Opening the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Kyle Spence and Kole Kirkman, leading the field as the green flag flew with Kyle Spence gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap.

Keeping the top spot secured for fifteen laps, Kyle Spence would appear to be on his way to a victory lane visit until a hectic final ten laps would witness Kole Kirkman overtake for the lead for four laps as a late-race caution bunched the field back together.

Thrilling the packed crowd inside the Southern Illinois Center, Kameron Chamness would shine late to drive into the preferred position with only six laps remaining and holding first as the checkers waved. Kole Kirkman would hold on to place a tightly contested runner-up as Jordan Clary would contend for the lead late to settle in the final podium placement.

Staying close in the closing laps, hard-charger Graham Huffman would hustle past thirteen drivers to finish fourth with Daryn Stark, from starting eleventh, rounding out the POWRi Wing Outlaw Micro League top five finishers inside the Southern Illinois Center.
