POWRi Lucas Oil National Midgets Schedule 39 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.
