BROWN ON POWRi MIDGET PODIUM

Sydney’s former National Speedcar Champion Kaidon Brown has posted his best result this American campaign with a third placing at Iowa’s Fayette County Speedway.

Brown raced with the POWRi Midgets and impressed after he started on pole position for the 30 feature race.

“We led some laps, but just fell short with a third place,” Kaidon said.

“Mixed emotions as we had a racing winning car tonight. But on a positive note, it was a dream come true to finish on the podium in a Midget in America. So many people have contributed to me being able to live out my boyhood dreams, glad I’m able to repay them with a solid result.

This iBUYPOWER KKM 97K car is fast and hopefully we can keep the momentum rolling for the rest of Speedweek.”

Bryant Wiedeman emerged victorious to earn his fourth career Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League feature victory in furious paced thirty-lap event on night two of the Ninth Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek.

Launching the field on the initial green flag launch had Brown and outside front-row companion Wiedeman battling into the first pair of corners with Brown nabbing the front of the field to lead the opening lap.

Leading the first twelve revolutions around Fayette County Speedway, Brown ultimately had Bryant Wiedeman closing in on the lead around the mid-way point of the feature with Wiedeman able to drive around the outside out of turn four.

Making for event dramatics, dead-last starter Cannon McIntosh flew through the field to catch the front-runners with the laps beginning to wind down as Wiedeman headed the field, with Brown second and Karter Sarff running third with action on each end of the track..

“I knew after the last restart that Cannon was back there and I had to hit my marks perfect,” said the defending POWRi League Champion Wiedeman in victory lane. Adding, “This really helps momentum overall and builds a solid night of points for us as a team”.

Fighting off the hard-charging efforts, Bryan Wiedeman notched his first feature victory of the season with McIntosh placing runner-up as one-time leader Kaidon Brown finished third.

Dominic Gorden progressed impressively past seventeen other competitors to place fourth with Jace Park rounding out the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers in the intense feature finale at Fayette County Speedway.
