Thomas Messeraul won the midgets in Shane Hmiels car, then Rico, Hagen, Daum and Shane Stewart passed Schatz late to win the 55 lap WoO feature - Rico second, Schatz, Paul McMahan
Rico was tough in both, 2nd in both features - very impressive
Racing was great lots of passing and slide jobs. The night had a big event feel to it. This was our first time here and it is like a miniature Eldora.This is defiantly a must see event, can't wait to come back next year.
Had a great time at Pevely. Racing was great both nights with plenty of passing in both classes. Last night's midget feature was epic. You can catch it on powri Facebook page
Ironman has always been great, but having POWRI there just puts it over the top. I don't think Friday nights show will be topped all year in terms of racing and last night was awesome as well.

I agree. We went both nights and the track was not the same both nights but was great both nights. Tremendous racing all night long both nights. I think that it really opened the eyes of lots of race fans to how exciting midget racing is. When I got there Saturday night lots of sprint car and modified fans were talking about the midget feature the night before. I don't go to a lot of winged sprint car races but I try to never miss them when they are at I-55 because there is more passing and side by side racing than anyplace else I have ever been. The modifieds gave us a good show as well. Johnny Gibson and Jim Childers did a great job on the PA!
Thanks POWRi, WoO & the folks at Federated I-55 Raceway for a great weekend of racing!!!!!!!!!!!

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
Seeing the midgets at Pevely just whet my appetite for the upcoming Gold Crown at Tri City! Midgets, MOWA, then the USAC champ cars at DuQuoin under the lights... great weekend ahead
Sprints & Midgets always put on a great show. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people talk about how great the Midget show was when they're paired with Sprints. Many came for the Sprints but left talking about the Midgets.
