Power Drive Results
The Wayne Power Drive team traveled to Motorsports Park Hastings in Hastings NE for the third event of the 2024 Power Drive season to compete on a 1 mile road course. On a beautiful day for racing, car A107 driven by Braden Adams took the lead in Advanced class on the first lap. Car A107 created a 2 lap lead going into the mandatory pit stop at the 35 minute mark. A quick pit stop got the A107 back on the track to continue increasing the lead over 2nd place. Car A107 finished the race in 1st place with a 4 lap (4 mile) lead over 2nd place. This is the third race win of the season for A107.
Cars E22 driven by Nina Hammer and E39 driven by Josh Doring started the race in another tight battle with 2 Exhibition class cars from Friend NE. All four cars completed similar lap times and were in a pack separated by 2 seconds. Positions of all 4 cars were traded throughout the race, making another exciting race to watch. Unfortunately the Blue Devils fell to 3rd and 4th place late in the race and couldn't gain position. Car E39 finished in 3rd place while completing the fastest lap of the day out of all classes, and the E22 finished in 4th.
