Stewart, Miller post POWRi wins at Lake Ozark Speedway
(Eldon, MO) -- Shane Stewart would lead all feature laps on his way emerging victorious in the seventh event for the 2023 season in the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series’ return to their home facility of Lake Ozark Speedway to notch his first career series feature victory in the ‘Independence Weekend Celebration’ after a superb chase to the checkers.
Cruising onto the smoothed and maintained track would witness Kerry Madsen set a quick time with a 12.057-second lap time. Kerry Madsen, Gunner Ramey, and Xaveir Doney would each earn an early heat racing victory with Madsen gaining the event high point qualifier award and pole starting position for the twenty-five-lap feature event.
Going into the initial green flag start would find outside front-row starter Shane Stewart speed to the early racing advantage as Kerry Madsen, Gunner Ramey, Garet Williamson, and Joe B Miller battled within the top five.
Maintaining the front of the field for the full feature event, Shane Stewart would throttle his way through lap traffic while holding all challengers at racing bay to earn his first career POWRi 410 BOSS feature victory.
“I was fortunate the track was easy on me tonight after two years off, I guess the old saying is true to never sever ties wherever you go,” said Shane Stewart in the Lake Ozark Speedway victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I’m so proud of my guys for giving me a great car tonight for Bernie and Besty always having the best equipment, this is truly a blessing.”
Battling intently behind the leader would find Garet Williamson throwing many attempts to overtake for the lead finish runner-up from starting sixth with Gunner Ramey flying into placing in the final podium placement from starting fourth.
Staying in the hunt for the front all feature, Ayrton Gennetten would finish fourth as point-leader Roger Crockett rounded out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series at Lake Ozark Speedway’s Independence Weekend Celebrations.

GAVIN MILLER GAINS VICTORY IN LAKE OZARK POWRi THRILLER
By POWRi (Eldon, MO) --Gavin Miller would recover from the previous night's miscues to perfection by parking in Lake Ozark Speedway victory lane on Saturday Night with the POWRi National and West Midget League, capturing his first career league victory by leading seven laps in an action-packed twenty-five lap feature event.
Early on-track competition with solid entries in the POWRi National and West Midget League would see Corbin Rueschenberg start the action off with a quick hot-lap time of 14.234-second lap as Gavin Miller and Cannon McIntosh each would earn heat racing wins.
Setting the feature field would find high-point qualifier Gavin Miller and front-row counterpart Cannon McIntosh each competing for the prized position as the green flag flew with McIntosh gaining advantage on the opening lap over Gavin Miller, Taylor Reimer, Branigan Roark, and Cooper Williams all raced inside the top five.
Overtaking on a daring late-race maneuver in turns one and two, Gavin Miller would shoot to the inside on a speedy line to throttle his way past a pace-setting McIntosh. Using the momentum to hold the front, Gavin would not look back on his way to earning the event win.
Holding the lead for seven laps, Gavin Miller would emerge victorious to clinch his first career POWRi National Midget League feature victory after an intense twenty-five laps around Lake Ozark Speedway.
“I just stayed with him patiently and waited for the right time, I knew it was time to go on the last lap to get it done,” said Gavin Miller in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony.
Using a daring high-side line, Karter Sarff would fly into the leading picture late to place a solid second as one-time leader Cannon McIntosh would finalize the podium finishers. Tracking down the front would witness Taylor Reimer finish fourth as Shannon McQueen hard-charged past eight other drivers to round out the POWRi National and West Midget League top-five finishers at Lake Ozark Speedway.
