Going through a determined field of fifty-six entries on the championship night of the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro division in the KKM Challenge would find Bradley Brown set the quick hot lap time of non-lock-ins with a time of 11.115-seconds. Bradley Brown and Kole Kirkman would each emerge victorious semi-features with Bubba Hughes gaining the C-feature win.

Flying onto the smooth Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway surface for Championship Night racing for the final night of the Pennsylvania Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV would see Steven Snyder Jr win the ‘King of the Clyde’ dash to earn the feature event pole-starting position.

Bringing the initial field to green would find each prelim night winner Steven Snyder Jr and Alex Bright pacing the field as the green flag flew with Snyder taking the early on-track advantages over Bright only to witness Alex Bright stick to the top of the track and overtake for the lead on the second lap.

Keeping momentum on the top shelf of “The Clyde”, Alex Bright would lead over the slimmest of margins of Steven Snyder Jr with Christian Bruno clinging close behind as Thomas Kunsman Jr and Jake Andreotti rounded out the early contending top five.

Occurring lap traffic around the mid-race point, Bright would continue to lead the top-five separating pack with Kole Kirkman, Jacob Severn, Neal Allison, Gunnar Pio, and Chelby Hinton battled inside the running top ten as the first caution waved on lap eighteen.

Restarting with the POWRi Chose-Cone in play as leading Alex Bright elected the low line as second-running Steven Snyder Jr went to the top shelf with Bright declaring the lead emphatically over Snyder, Kunsman, Bruno, and Kirkman.

Overtaking for the top spot on lap twenty-six, Steven Snyder Jr would wait until the perfect time to ride the slider line into the lead as Alex Bright maintained the second position with Christian Bruno, Thomas Kunsman Jr, and the hard-charging Kyle Spence closing late.

Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, caution would wave with less than five laps remaining, Steven Snyder Jr would not be denied and hold steady up front for his eighth career POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro victory as one-time leader Alex Bright would finish in the closely contended second spot with Kyle Spence advancing nineteen positions to finalize the podium placements.

“We were just so even and I didn’t know what I could do to catch Alex. In the last half I started getting a rhythm and whatever clicked in the final tens laps it just made me faster.” said the delighted Steven Snyder Jr in the Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway victory lane for Championship Night of the PA KKM Challenge. Adding, “It’s great to have people behind me that I can trust and that gives me the confidence I need just to get out there and drive”.

Driving from starting sixteenth, Briggs Danner would place fourth as Kole Kirkman rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League feature in Championship Night of the Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV at Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway.

Running in support division competitions of Championship Night in the third yearly KKM Challenge presented by S2F TV at Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway would witness Christian Bruno earn the feature victory in the U6SA division as Brexton Busch would again find victory lane sweeping the weekend in the Jr Sprint division.

Forming a relentless field of twenty entries spanning the U6SA division, Trevor Gach would outpace others by setting the hot-lap quick time with a lap of 10.920-seconds with Brexton Busch situating the early standard of speed over stout Jr Sprinters with a lap time of 12.711-seconds in the early at Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway competitions for Championship Night in support of the East Coast KKM Challenge.

Setting the feature field lineups based on overall preliminary night points earned, KKM Challenge Championship Night High Point Qualifiers earning the feature pole starting positions would be Brian Carber in the U6SA and Brexton Busch in Jr Sprints.

Cruising onto the smooth Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway surface for the U6SA feature would find Christian Bruno protecting the front of the field, after inheriting the lead when one-time leaders Bradley Brown and Brian Carber dropped out due to attrition to score the victory. Jesse Mauer would cross the checker’s second with Brent Shearer placing third from starting fifteenth as Anthony Yerger finished fourth ahead of Brian Kramer rounding out the top-five finishers in the Championship Night of the Pennsylvania KKM Challenge feature event.
