Belleville, IL. (10/8/22) Heading into the final weekend stretch of competition at Port City Raceway on October 13 and I-44 Riverside Speedway on October 14-15, the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midgets League will see the rise of a champion after a season-long quest for racing notoriety.
Riding into the weekend with a five-hundred-ten point advantage in the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget League, Brenham Crouch continues his quest of becoming the 2022 POWRi National Midget League Champion acquiring one win on the season with a consistent top-10 finish in all but four of his seasonal starts. Gaining eight heat race victories with four high-point qualifiers awards on the season, Brenham aims to clinch his first championship over the racing weekend.
Entering the weekend runner-up in the yearly championship, Taylor Reimer has routinely placed inside the top 10 in seventy percent of the events entered within the POWRi National Midget League competition. While earning a single quick-time and heat race victory as well as a pair of high-point qualifier awards, Taylor remains focused on seizing her first league victory as well staying within the championship chase.
Tying Christopher Bell with eleven feature wins on the season and remaining third in the yearly standings, Cannon McIntosh only trails Logan Seavey (12 in 2019) for most POWRi National Midget Wins in a single season while continually staying in the thick of a hunt for the National Championship crown.
Defending National POWRi Champion Bryant Weideman has driven to a pair of feature wins in 2022 while currently in the fourth seasonal placement of the standings earning a single quick-time, a pair of heat racing wins, two semi-feature victories, as well as a duo of hard-charger awards.
Transforming from first-time winner to achieving a trio of victories on the year, Chase McDermand continues his stellar 2022 while quickly solidifying his name among the Nation’s top open-wheel talents claiming the POWRi National Rookie of the Year honors while earning four quick-times, eight heat race wins, a pair of high-point qualifiers as well as a lone hard-charger award on the season.
