Inside Line Promotions – MEEKER, Okla. (July 13, 2021) – Daison Pursley used a late-race pass to capture his fourth career Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division Stock Non-Wing triumph at Red Dirt Raceway on Tuesday during the opening night of Mid-America Micro Week.
The win was Pursley’s second of the season at the track and propelled him into the top spot on the NOW600 Series all-time division wins list at Red Dirt Raceway. It also marked his fifth career NOW600 Series victory in the division, which is tied for the third most.
Pursley started seventh and outdueled eighth-starting John Kilmer late in the 25-lap feature, riding the high groove through turns one and two to rocket down the backstretch. The race-winning move came with four laps remaining as Pursley powered around the outside of Kilmer, who was locked to the bottom lane around the bullring, off turn two and beat him to the low groove entering turn three. Kilmer stayed close, but Pursley held on to the win by a car length.
Blayne Buntin advanced from ninth to third place with Brock Cottrell finishing fourth and Matt Moore fifth.
Kenton Brewer, Pursley, Colby Sokol and Shawn Mahaffey were the heat race winners. Tanner Holwerda won the B Main.
Mid-America Micro Week continues on Wednesday at Solomon Valley Raceway in Beloit, Kan., for the 10th annual Chad McDaniel Memorial. The NOW600 Series Stock Non-Wing and Restricted ‘A’ Class divisions will be competing during the series debut at the track.
