Zach Daum Dominates POWRi National & West Midget Leagues at Creek County Speedway
Kellyville, OK (3/12/26) - Zach Daum scored a commanding victory in Night One of the 13th Annual POWRi Turnpike Challenge at Creek County Speedway. Daum led every lap to earn his 24th career feature win with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, showing strength and consistency on the tricky Kellyville clay.
Forty-eight drivers competed in the POWRi National and West divisions. Jacob Denney set quick time in qualifying with a 13.323-second lap. Heat race wins went to Ryan Padgett, Brecken Reese, Gavin Miller, Rylan Gray, Hayden Reinbold, and Matt Sherrell, while Denney and Colton Robinson captured the semi-feature victories.
At the start of the feature, Ryan Padgett and Matt Sherrell led the field to green, but Padgett brought out an early caution after contact with the infield tires. On the restart, Daum jumped into the lead and never looked back. He controlled the race from the low line as Jakeb Boxell stayed close early and Blake Hahn charged forward using the high line.
Daum’s clean, consistent run gave him the win, with Boxell earning a career-best runner-up finish and Sherrell completing the podium.
“I thought the track was tricky and technical tonight. We had a good plan with what we thought the track was going to give us, and it worked out for us tonight,” Daum said in victory lane. “I felt as long as I stayed clean down low and hit my marks, it was going to go my way. Creek County has been really good to me lately.”
Kyle Jones finished fourth and Blake Hahn finished fifth to round out the top five on Night One of the Turnpike Challenge.
