RACINBOYS EXCLUSIVE by Ray Cunningham (Grain Valley, MO) -- Grain Valley: Racer A.J Gilbert won his third POWRi Valley Outlaw Midget Feature of the year Friday night at Valley Speedway. A.J.

During the feature Gilbert beat second heat winner J.d. Black to the first turn giving the young Kansas driver a lead he would not relinquish. However it wasn’t a easy win for the Valley Midget Point Leader. He first had to hold off the advances of Black, and then later his brother Dustin who hounded him throughout much of the race before a late race restart led to his car stumbling and quitting. Just before the restart on lap 16 veteran midget driver Chad Frewaldt accidentally tagged 3rd running Wesley Smith going into 4 causing the Nixa driver to flip and catch fire.

Wesley was fine after being assisted from his Rick Horn owned Midget by Frewaldt. But both drivers were unable to continue, and after Dustin Gilbert’s issues on the restart with 4 laps to Go, it was clear sailing for A.J. Gilbert to the finish of the 20 lap race. The POWRi Valley Outlaw Midgets Return to Grain Valley next Friday night for their final race of 2019. While the POWRi Valley Outlaw Sprints will also return to the Grain Valley oval for a doubleheader not to missed.
