ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- Anthony Sesely raced to his sixth career TQ Midget win in the Indoor Auto Racing Championship Fueled by VP Series opener Saturday night inside the PPL Center in a thrilling feature that had the arena fans on their feet for most all of the race.

The turning point in the battle for the lead came six laps from the end when Thompson was penalized for jumping the leader on a double file restart.
Thompson was set back two spots and was never a factor in the race after that.
