Hunter Schuerenberg Snags Repeat Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lake Ozark Speedway
Eldon, MO. (7/5/24) Hunter Schuerenberg would seize the opportunity to return to victory lane with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night One of the Independence Celebrations presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second-straight league victory and pocket the payday in an action-packed feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-one talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Jake Bubak set a quick qualifying time of 11.507-second lap with Tim Estenson, Kyle Bellm, Garet Williamson, and Hunter Schuerenberg each earning heat racing victories as well as Max Guilford grabbing the lone semi-feature victory.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Hunter Schuerenberg and Emerson Axsom lined up in the front row as Schuerenberg would shoot to the lead on the opening lap with Axsom, Joe B Miller, Jake Bubak, and Blake Hahn all racing within the early top five.
Overtaking for the top-spot would find Emerson Axsom leading the pack of hungry POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprinters for a total of seventeen laps while appearing to be in a class above the competition with Hunter Schuerenberg settling into the runner up position as Joe B Miller continued to stalk in third.
Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, Hunter Schuerenberg would use perfect timing on a choose-cone restart to slide into the front-scored spot and hold the final revolutions with Axsom racing rapidly to recover in runner-up placement.
Going back-to-back in victories, Hunter Schuerenberg would not be denied leading eight laps and earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Emerson Axsom settling for the runner-up position late.
“You just have to play the hand that is dealt to you. This track was a bit dryer, faster, and trickier than we expected tonight, I made one mistake in lap traffic and Emerson was right there to get by me. That last restart was key and I knew I had to get to the bottom before he could shut the door because the top was curby and tough” said the elated Hunter Schuerenberg in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “These young kids can race hard but clean so that makes this so much better”.
Challenging closely behind would find Jake Bubak placing on the final podium placement from the starting fifth on the initial green flag. Ayrton Gennetten would be among the frontrunners late in the feature to finish fourth as Roger Crockett would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night One of the Independence Celebrations at Lake Ozark Speedway.
