Thorson Checks Out At Creek County

SAPULPA, Okla. — Tanner Thorson checked out on the field late with the POWRi Honest Abe Roofing 410 Outlaw Sprint League to notch his first league victory and earn the hard-fought victory at Creek County Speedway.

High-point qualifier Jonathan Beason and Blake Hahn lined up in the front row as Beason would gain the lead on the opening lap with Hahn, Thorson, Joe B. Miller, and Sam Hafertepe Jr. chasing.

Leading the first 14 laps, Beason would appear to be a natural in a sprint ride while bearing on lapped traffic quickly with Thorson and Hahn battling behind the speedy leading Beason.

Finding a smooth line around the mid-point of the feature, Thorson would strike at the perfect time with Beason pinned down low behind the lap car and Thorson running a high line with Thorson overtaking for the top spot on lap 15.

Leading the final 16 laps, Thorson would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed and thrilling main event with Hahn hustling into the runner-up position late.

“We had a really good car from the start. We were very maneuverable. Our Team has been working hard to get us here,” said Thorson. “Jonathan was so good at the start but our car gained so much speed later on in the race.”

Contesting closely behind and making a debuting impact, Beason would cross the line on the final podium placement as Kyle Clark would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth with Joe B Miller rounding out the top-five finishers.
