Belleville, IL. (6/12/23) Breaking the tie atop the seasonal standings in points through great racing action at a trio of hosting series’, a fresh face would rise to the top of the POWRi Lightning Sprint Division after a weather cancelation in one regional event would halt a few entrants continually chasing glory in the National Championship chase.
Feature winners over the weekend would include Dexter Dvergsten attaining career feature win number thirty by sweeping weekend victories at Devils Lake Speedway and Buffalo River Speedway in the Minn-Kota Lightning Sprints as well as Parker Dumas earning his second career win with the Southwest Lightning Sprints at Barona.
