Xavier Doney Drives to Night One Non-Wing Nationals Win with POWRi WAR

Belleville, IL. (9/2/23) Xavier Doney would lead the final five laps while holding steady in a late-race restart with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to capture the Night One Non-Wing Nationals feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway and notch his fourth career feature win.

Early on-track accomplishments would witness Jack Wagner start quickest in hot laps with a 13.744-second lap as Riley Kreisel and Kory Schudy would each earn heat racing wins with Kory Schudy pocketing the event’s high-point qualifier award after racing from fourth to first in his heat racing win.

Contesting on the initial green flag start would find pole-sitter Kory Schudy battle against front-row companion Steven Russell into the first pair of corners with Schudy gaining the opening on-track advantage as Russell, Riley Kreisel, Katlynn Leer, and Mario Clouser running inside the top-five while attempting to run down the speedy leader.

Pacing the field out front, Kory Schudy would appear to be in a driving advantage of his own while leading the first fourteen laps of competition as Steven Russell would lead one lap in a spirited battle up front.

Battling from a sixth starting spot, Xavier Doney would drive into the front position by using an outstanding diamond run in turn two to overtake for the top spot as a late-race restart would bunch the field together with a pair of laps remaining.

Holding steady on the late restart, Xavier Doney would not be denied in his second feature win of 2023 while holding off the late-stage heroics of runner-up placement Jack Wagner as 2021 league champion Mario Clouser finalized the podium placements.

“This was a real elbows up kind of track tonight that was up high on the cushion, I was able to find a diamond line off the corners before everyone else at that played to my advantage.” said an excited Xavier Doney in the Lake Ozark Speedway victory lane. Adding, “This car is a rocket right now, the Schnee-Lawson is really coming into its own.”

Maintaining a solid showing all night, Katlynn Leer would finish fourth as Steven Russell rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in the Night One Non-Wing Nationals feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.
