Miller, Jacob Patton, Ryan Guyett, Jeremy Camp along with Brandon & Caleb Graybeal will be looking to start this years 33 race schedule off with a WIN.

It sure was a great show last year I plan to go this year also.

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

I'm planning on making the short trip up. Just about every race I've seen there was great esp. the finishes. Little bitty track but the midgets and micros put on a terrific show and the crowd keeps getting bigger and bigger each time I go. If you've never been there before, go because it's the only time they'll race there this year.

Is Shuman running for Loyet again?

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

Well, this may cause my wife to change her plans and come to the race!

Great start to the year for Don and Casey both. Congrats.

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

Anyone have a full rundown? Looked on the POWRI website but they haven't updated anything.

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

Congratulations to Tyler Robbins and Shane Cockrum on their runs. Both looked very strong all night.:8::6:

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

As good as the midget racing was, anyone who left before the micro feature missed a great one, as Jeremy Camp and Nic Harris put on one heck of a duel for the win.:6:

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

This is one thing Powri really lacks. They need a PR person to get the info on the web site or emailed out to racing web sites sooner. Sometimes you wait several days for a full run down.

Re: POWRi Season Opener DuQuoin, IL. Saturday, March 27th
 

Here is some video from midget hot laps. I've got a lot more clips on my phone, but this is the only one that got uploaded. I'll try to get the others up this week.
