POWRi Lucas Oil National Midgets schedule record high events for 2013




MILLSTADT, Ill. (Jan. 4, 2013)—The POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series has scheduled an all-time high 39 events in Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin and Indiana for its ninth season in 2013, starting March 23 at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville, Ill., and ending Oct. 3-5 with the USAC co-sanctioned Gold Crown Midget Nationals at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill.
POWRi and USAC will also co-sanction the Hut 100, which moves to Tri-City Speedway on May 31, the Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway Grand Prix on April 12-13 and a double-header at Belle-Clair on July 5-6. POWRi, USAC and the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association will tri-sanction events on June 23 and Aug. 18 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.

POWRi’s inaugural Illinois Midget Week, a championship within the season championship, will be run June 6 at Jacksonville Speedway, June 7 at Lincoln Speedway, June 8 at Macon Speedway and June 9 at Vermillion County Speedway in Danville. The four events will be co-sanctioned by Badger.
POWRi and Badger will co- or tri-sanction 17 events including seven at Angell Park.

“We’ve been able to strengthen Midget events in the Midwest by taking advantage of co-sanction opportunities with USAC and Badger,” POWRi co-founder Kenny Brown said. “We all see this as in the best interest of the sport, to bring the best drivers and teams together even though we run our own championships.
“We became the promoter at Angell Park this season and we’ve increased our events there to seven. We’re running six times at Belle-Clair and five times Macon, who of our traditional homes, and have five events at Tri-City. We’ve expanded our schedule without adding travel time or cost to our teams by keeping it in four center Midwestern states. We were forced to eliminate some events that we very much enjoyed, but with 39 events in a more compact geographic range, it was best for our series.”

POWRi’s National Midgets will race in three events at Jacksonville, two at Lincoln, Kokomo and Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Mo., and once at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., Vermillion County Speedway, Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway, Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., Wilmot (Wis.) Speedway, US 36 Speedway in Cameron, Mo., and Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill.

It was very hard not to share the news about the VCS date! We are getting there and having a POWRi date really has us charged up!

[Andrew S. Quinn]

Very interesting schedule. Stops at Bloomington and Haubstadt to go along with them running at Kokomo earlier in the season for the State of Indiana. Vermillion County just over the State Line on a night that Kokomo is off for another reasonably close race to go to for those that stay closer to Indiana.

My old Van will be heading across State lines quite a few times this season,I can see that already! Illinois Midget week is one of the most anticipated stops on my schedule for this year.

It's really great to see POWRi have an increased presence in Indiana. Looking forward to seeing more midget racing in 2013. Looking forward to that VCS show on June 9th!
