Belleville, IL (06/11/2020) The POWRi Lucas Oil National and West Midget Leagues are all set for a return to the “Show-Me State” for two days of competition. This weekend, June 12th and 13th, Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri will host top drivers from all over as everyone attempts to tame the tricky one-third mile dirt-oval.
Pits will be open all day with driver’s registration open from 4-6 pm. Driver’s meeting is scheduled for 6:30 as Hot-Laps action will kick-off at 6:45, racing action to follow. All times will remain the same for both days of competition.
For the POWRi Lucas Oil West Midget League, five edge-of-your-seat co-sanctioned events have been completed with the POWRi National Midgets.
Five different drivers claiming the top spots. First racing at Valley Speedway for the Mid-Missouri Open Wheel Nationals, night one witnessed Zach Daum earn his 20th POWRi Midget feature win, tying for fifth on the career-win leader boards. Night two at Valley would see Justin Grant earn his first-ever sanctioned feature win in a dominating fashion. Logan Seavey would waste no-time breaking the tie for fifth in all-time POWRi wins, by claiming his 21st career feature victory at I-44 Riverside Speedway at the 7th Annual Turnpike Challenge. The trend of first-time POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League feature winners continued the final two-nights of the TPC with Michael “Buddy” Kofoid winning at I-44 Riverside and Cannon McIntosh gaining glory at Port City Raceway.
For the POWRi West Midgets season standings the same driver as the National Midgets resides at the top, as Jake Neuman #3n attempts to claim both championships this year. Previous season’s champion Andrew Felker #44s find himself in the second position for standings, well within striking distance. Trey Marcham #32 used an outstanding Turnpike Challenge performance to propel up the standings to third as Rookie contender Trey Gropp #00 continues to impress in fourth place for the early season. Kade Morton #8M currently rounds out the POWRi West points with plenty of action yet to hit the tracks in 2020.
All POWRi Lucas Oil West Midget League standalone events are double points. This weekend at Lake of Ozarks is two-day co-sanction race with the POWRi National and then the first all POWRi West show is June 27th at I-44 Riverside speedway. POWRi West follows that up by a two day show co-sanctioned with RMMA at Airport Speedway in Garden City, KS on July 3rd and 4th.
