Logansport, IN. (8/1/25) James Roselli would ride the mid-line to perfection in Preliminary Night of the fifth yearly installment of the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV to claim his first career victory with the POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro League at the hosting US-24 Speedway.
Going through an impressive field of seventy-nine entries on the prelim night of the POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro division in the KKM Challenge would find Sam Johnson set the quick qualifying time with a time of 11.885 seconds. Colton Hardy, Neal Allison, Jett Nunley, Christian Bruno, Brecken Reese, Cole Bodine, Cullen Hutchison, KJ Snow, and James Rosselli would each emerge victorious in heat racing action, with Cullen Hutchison, Steven Snyder Jr, Christian Bruno, and Stone Sharpe all earning wins in qualifier competitions. Bubba Rains would gain the d-feature win with Justis Sokol and Charlie Leffler earning c-feature victories as Cade Jaeger and Kole Kirkman emerged winning in the b-features.
Soaring onto the smooth US-24 Speedway surface for Preliminary Night feature racing for the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV would see the high point qualifier James Roselli battle outside front-row contender Christian Bruno as the green flew, with Roselli holding the front of the field as action aplenty ensued behind the leader.
"I knew I just had to run my race from starting pole, I'm glad the cautions came out when they did around the mid-point for a quick reset," said a joyful James Roselli in victory lane. Adding, "Great team effort all night, and it's pretty cool to win a big event with such tough competition.
Protecting the lead for all thirty revolutions, James Roselli would go on to secure his first career POWRi Stock Non-Wing Micro victory as Brecken Reese would finish in the closely contended second spot after starting fourth, with second starter Christian Bruno finalizing the podium placements.
Driving from beginning sixth, Steven Snyder Jr would lock down the final lock-in spot of fourth as KJ Snow rounded out the top five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League feature in the Preliminary Night of the Eibach Racing Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV at US-24 Speedway.
