Andy Jankowiak secured his first victory at PPL Center in Allentown during Saturday night's Ironton Global TQ Midget Race, marking his eighth win in the Indoor Auto Racing Series Championship. This achievement places him third on the all-time wins list.

Starting from sixth position, Jankowiak skillfully worked his way through the field in the 40-lap feature. With 15 laps remaining, he found himself challenging Tanner VanDoren for second place. Both drivers eventually passed race leader Anthony Sesely, setting up an intense battle for the win.

The decisive moment came on a late-race restart when Jankowiak used the outside line to pass VanDoren off turn two. Despite a last-lap challenge from Ryan Flores, Jankowiak maintained his composure to secure the victory. Flores finished second, followed by VanDoren, Sesely, and Kyle Lick completing the top five.

• Matt Swanson earned the Bob Hilbert Sportswear TQ Fast Time Award with a 7.473-second lap
