(12/17/22) Daniel Robinson would use driving precision, patience, and experience in the Junior Knepper 55 at the Southern Illinois Center in DuQuoin Illinois on Saturday night to capture their second career victory with the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League after a thrilling wintertime festivity feature honoring a Land of Lincoln industry-leader. Early DuQuoin competition with forty-three POWRi National Midget League entrants would see Kyle Cummins start quickest with a 9.564-lap in hot-laps as Shane Cottle, Joe B Miller, Kyle Cummins, Zach Daum, Thomas Meseraull, and Kyle Steffens each earned heat racing wins with Shane Cockrum and Ronnie Gardner picking up the semi-feature victory. Leading the field for the first five revolutions, Cottle would suffer issues in turns one and two on lap six while racing for the lead. Forcing Cottle to the rear of the field, Thomas Meseraull would take the front of the field in the early stages of the fifty-five-lap feature event. Robinson would set sail out front while encountering lap traffic only to see the advantage evaporate in the closing laps.
