St. Louis, MO – As of the conclusion of the 2019 POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint Car League season, POWRi and the Shuman family are announcing that going into the 2020 season, they will be stepping away from the series in a full time capacity. Both Casey and Brooke Shuman have been a part of the sprint car league since the series came under the POWRi banner in 2017. Casey will continue to assist with scheduling and will remain on in an advisory role.
“I would like to personally thank both Casey & Brooke for their hard work, dedication, and all their contributions to POWRi WAR,” said POWRi owner Kenny Brown. “We’re proud to have partnered with them in the early stages of developing our Non-Wing Sprint League. They have served as great ambassadors for our organization, through working to increase the annual race schedule and raising the purses for the driver. I’m glad to say this announcement is mutually beneficial and I want to thank them for their commitment to POWRi.”
“Brooke and I have put our very best effort into this series since purchasing it in 2015. We have been fortunate enough to meet and work with some great teams and families. The Lucas Oil POWRi WAR Sprint League and its racers have grown so much in a fairly short amount of time. I am extremely proud and grateful to everyone that has been part of it,” said Casey Shuman, “Brooke & I look forward to watching the league continue to grow in the future and seeing all those familiar faces at the track when our schedule allows.”
Shifting gears to 2020, the schedule is roughly in place, as POWRi officials have already reached out to several tracks and secured dates. 2020’s races will again be centered on the Kansas City area to help reduce traveling. Illinois will still host races, in a similar fashion to the Wildcard series of 2018. The official schedule release will be around the beginning of the New Year.
