At the drop of the green flag, teammate to Kofoid, Brenham Crouch took the lead. Crouch led the first last and the field set in behind him. Crouch maneuvered himself around the track choosing the top side. A caution on lap 10 brings the field back together but crouch still strong with the lead.
Crouch the leader, Ryan Timms in second, and Kofoid in third bring the field back to green. Crouch still dominating on the top side and Kofoid on the hunt to grab the top position. On the track with 11 laps to go, Kofoid challenged Crouch to take the lead and stuck the slide job. Kofoid went on to lead lap 19.
Traffic closed in on the leaders and Crouch never left Kofoids tail, but Kofoid steals the win and makes it four in a row. Crouch finished in the second position, Emerson Axsom in third, Ryan Timms in fourth and Jake Neuman rounded out the top five.
The Lucas Oil POWRi National & West Midget League will be back in action tomorrow, Sunday March 28th at Port City Raceway. If you can’t be there in person, you can catch all of the action LIVE on MAVTV Plus.

FRANK FLUD GETS BACK TO VICTORY LANE WITH THE POWRI MICRO SPRINTS
By POWRi (Oklahoma City, OK) -- Frank Flud of Tulsa, Oklahoma picked up his fifth POWRi Engler Machine & Tool Micro Sprint League Victory tonight at I-44 Riverside Speedway. Frank Flud started his night off strong with winning AFCO Heat number 2 and led all twenty laps of the main event.
With a couple of early race cautions, when the field went back to green Flud led the pack. The 81 of Flud ran away and took off with the lead, Russ Disinger in second. Leaving last night’s winner, Joe B Miller and Laydon Pearson fighting for the third position. While trading slide jobs Miller and Pearson make contact and Pearson came to a slow.
The field came back to green, and Miller takes over the second spot. As Flud gets into lapped traffic the field catches back up to him, and Jade Avedisian made her way up to third with her sights set on passing Miller for second. Avedisian passed Miller for second on lap 17 still on the hunt for the lead. As soon as Avedisian gets within arm’s reach of Flud she makes contact with a lapped car causing her to spin.
Flud finished off the last three laps and claimed his fifth Victory with the POWRi Engler Machine & Tool Micro Sprints. Tonight, was his first time to victory lane with the series since back in 2017 when he won at Macon Speedway. Flud was followed to the line by Joe B Miller in second, Daison Purskey in third, Noah Key in fourth, and Willie Urish in fifth.
