— Mario Clouser took control after an early back-and-forth battle and led the final 20 laps to earn his 13th career POWRi WAR Sprint feature victory during Thursday’s portion of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. Clouser said Burks showed him a line early in the race of using the high groove in turns one and two and the low line in three and four. It’s up over the edge there off four,” Clouser said. But Isaac Chapple used a pass out of turn four to lead lap two before the two swapped places again on lap five. A close battle between the leaders began to see separation by lap 12 as Clouser opened a two-second lead over Chapple. Clouser’s lead hit 2.5 seconds by lap 17 as he weaved his way through lapped traffic.
