2. McIntosh The Last Corner, Last Lap Hero At Sweet Springs

Oct 28, 2020

In the moments leading up to the final lap, Cannon McIntosh figured a chance at victory was just out of the realm of possibility during the September 4 USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget feature at Missouri’s Sweet Springs Motorsports Complex.

Yet, all it takes to win is to lead just one inch, a foot, a yard.  A valiant effort by the 17-year-old Bixby, Okla. native saw McIntosh erase a late-race one-second lead held by Chris Windom as Windom dealt with a throng of traffic on the final lap.  McIntosh ripped around the outside of turn four to nip Windom at the stripe by a half-car length for the victory – the only corner, the only lap McIntosh led throughout the evening.
