Belleville, IL. (10/06/2020) Overcoming adversaries all year ranging from a late season start to a premature yearly end, the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League would be resilient and sensational in 2020. After seventeen action-packed feature event’s “The Champ is Here”, will ring true once again as Warsaw, Missouri wheelman Riley Kreisel enters rarified air by becoming the first-ever three-time champion within the POWRi Lucas Oil Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League.
Capturing a league-leading four feature victories in 2020, Kreisel would find feature victory lanes at Valley Speedway, Adams County Raceway, Charleston Speedway, and Monett Motor Speedway, making an even ten career feature WAR wins for Riley while also gaining on the all-time career record of fourteen set by Korey Weyant. Continually setting the bar for other competitors’ comparisons Kreisel would earn eight heat race victories, three-high point qualifier accolades, and several fast time awards during hot-lap timing during the shortened season.
Taking the reigns as team owner-operator this season and driving the familiar WeatherTech Renovations, CertainTeed, Truman Lake Marine and Motorsports, Dickmeyer Farms, Advan-Tech Dyno-Services, Champion Racing Oils, Cohrs Farms, Schure Built Suspensions, BP Fabrications, AFD Graphics, Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Rod End Supply, Porter Chiropractic, Jocko’s Sprint Parts, LisaSellsTheLake.com, Tabo Seeds, Kreisel Farms, Ritchie Brothers, TRC Lawn Care, Speedway Motors 410, XXX Chassis, #91; Riley Kreisel Racing would make a monumental statement in route to a rare three-peat as the champion.
“We couldn’t do any of this without everyone involved, from all aspects of the team”, Kreisel would state about his successful season. Riley would highlight “Winning a third straight championship means a lot, it’s all the hard work of long days and late nights really paying off. Our team just continues to build and get stronger”.
If winning a back-to-back-to-back championship is still building momentum and getting stronger, then 2021 and beyond in the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League should be remarkably interesting with the championship Kreisel Team moving forward.
