ILLIANA Showdown Approaches at Macon Speedway for POWRi Leagues
Belleville, IL. (5/5/22) Returning by popular demand on a limited scope, the Second Annual ILLIANA Showdown revisits the Land of Lincoln on May 7th at Macon Speedway with the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League as well as the POWRi 600cc Outlaw Micro League presented by Engler Machine and Tool and Bailey Chassis.
Saturday, May 7th will witness the tight battle of reigning Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League champion Bryant Weideman holding a slight points advantage over Cannon McIntosh as competitors travel to the quick lap-times of Mighty Macon Speedway for the first of several visits in 2022. Also on the racing agenda will be the Lucas Oil POWRi 600cc Outlaw Micro League presented by Engler Machine and Tool, Pro Late Model, Modified, and Hornets for the evening.
The Engler Machine & Tool POWRi Micros have already made an appearance at Macon this season in combination with the track's regular Micros By Bailey Chassis class. An outstanding field of 36 drivers were pitside with Warsaw, IN competitor Craig Ronk taking the win.
Colby Sheppard of Williamsville, IL, last year’s Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Model champion, has had a strong start to his 2022 season, leading the standings by eight over Taylorville, IL’s Braden Johnson. Dakota Ewing, Colby Eller, and Dalton Ewing complete the top five in standings.
The BilllingsleyRewards.com DIRTcar Modified will be on track, racing for the third time this season.
