Kyle Lewis WINs POWRi Midwest Lightning Sprint Opener

The POWRi Midwest Lightning Sprints opened our season at I-35 Speedway on Sat night. A BIG thank you goes out to our sponsors for 2019, Racin’ Boys, Oskvig Accounting and Rod End Supply. We had 5 Rookies for our first nite of the new season.

The feature was a great race, with the rookies starting to get a feel for the cars and the track.

Tyler and Kyle were side by side going down the back stretch on the first lap. Bobby made a great move by splitting the pair going into the 3rd turn and took the lead. Bobby would stretch the lead out while Kyle, Tyler and now Jeff would be battling for the runner up spot.

Alex was running 5th and was starting to lay down some good lap times. Stan and Kenny were battling for the 6th spot. As the race progressed Kyle had taken over 2nd and was now trying to reel in Bobby. Kenny would get by Stan and Tim was now battling with Stan. Alex pulled to the inside of the track off the pace.

Kenny would take over the 5th spot and then was able to get by Tyler for the 4th spot. Stan would also get by Tyler. The yellow came out with 2 laps left as Tim had stopped on the track. On the restart, Kyle would try and make a pass on the outside of Bobby but couldn’t make it stick. With 1 to go, Kyle would go all out on the high side of the track and pass Bobby going thru turn 4. Kyle would be Bobby to the line. Kyle 1st, Bobby 2nd, Jeff 3rd, Kenny 4th and Stan 5th.

The Lighting Sprints next race is at Lake Ozark Speedway on Fri April 26th. We will be a one of the classes that will be a companion class to the World of Outlaws. Make plans to come out and watch the POWRi Midwest Lightning Sprints squirt some dirt at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, MO.

The racing in the MLS is fiercely competitive. With motorcycle power and low cost maintenance, this is still the most economical way to go fast in a race car. These cars are 1 ½ seconds a lap faster than an A Mod or a Late Model. New drivers/cars will be coming out each week. There are good used cars for sale. Contact the MLS for info.
