JACKSONVILLE, Ill. — Paul Nienhiser won Friday night’s Built Ford Tough MOWA Sprint Cars Delivered by Morrow Brothers Ford feature at Jacksonville Speedway.
Veteran Terry Babb had command of the race early, but Nienhiser worked his way to second and began challenging.
Fortunately, for Nienhiser, he was able to find some traction on the restart and worked past Babb, entering turn one on the high side.
Nienhiser never looked back over the remaining seven laps of the feature as he picked up his second win of 2019 with the MOWA Sprint Cars, his 14th career victory.
“This feature was one of those where you definitely had to stay out of trouble, the leaders had a couple close calls. The track was pretty dominant so I knew whenever somebody would move, I needed to be in the right place at the right time – and tonight I was,” Nienhiser said.
Babb finished second, ahead of Jacob Patton, Joe Miller and Jeremy Standridge.
