Kuhn Wins POWRi Opener at “The Mini Magic Mile”
POWRi PR, DuQuoin, IL. March 28, 2009 - Brad Kuhn of Avon, IN wasted no time in making his mark on the 2009 POWRi National Midget season winning the 40 lap Dean King Memorial at “The Mini Magic Mile” driving the A.J. Felker Stealth midget. A total of 39 midgets filled the pits competing for the 20 feature positions available. Tim Siner of Dupo, IL started on the pole and set the pace early leading the first 27 laps of the event. As the track started to dry out, Kuhn dove under Siner for the lead. Kuhn would pace the field while Brad Loyet of Sunset Hills, MO worked his way up to second followed by Nick Knepper of Belleville, IL and Siner. Loyet would make a run on Kuhn on the final lap and made contact with Kuhn coming off of turn four and would take the checkered in front of Kuhn. After a brief deliberation the POWRi officials determined that Loyet would be relegated to the last car on the lead lap because of the contact in turn four and awarded the win to Kuhn. The official top five would be Kuhn, Nick Knepper, Siner, Tracy Hines coming from 15th starting position and Matt Westfall.
