get first place points. If the second-highest West finisher gets 12th
then they will get second place points within the West League Championship
and continuing with all West finishers.” Along with the new points structure

POWRi Sanctions Outlaw
Midget Series for 2021

Belleville, IL. (12/5/2020) Branching out to new
territories in 2021, Performance Open Wheel Racing Incorporated will
see sanctioning sweep into the gulf-coast area with the development
of the POWRi Lucas Oil Outlaw Midget Series.
Set to compete at various venues of speed throughout
the south, the POWRi Lucas Oil Outlaw Midget Series will primarily
run in Florida and Mississippi with series officials planning on
racing visits to Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana as the
series continues to grow.
“The series has expanded within just the past two
years and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here, joining POWRi
felt like the best way to help grow even-more while keeping the
driver’s interest first” commented Outlaw Midget Series Director
Shane Reavis. Going on to add “We have a ton of racing in the area
from go-karts, stock cars, late models, and wing sprints. Now those
drivers looking to move up from go-karts or competitors trying a new
class have an affordable alternative” said Reavis.
Employing economy-based midgets that utilize a stock
production long block engine, the D-2 midget series originated in
2019 as part of a small four-race schedule and grew to a dozen
events in a 2020 shortened season while gaining entries since the
inception. Now racing under the POWRi brand, the Outlaw Midget
Series is planning for fifteen events in the upcoming season with
added incentives on the line through the season points
championship. The POWRi Lucas Oil Outlaw Midget Series is currently
finalizing the full and expanded 2021 season schedule ranging in
race dates from early March until late September.
Follow along for more information on the further
growth of the POWRi Lucas Oil Outlaw Midget Series and items such as
race recaps, updates, full results, and press releases online at
www.powri.com, or on Twitter & Instagram at @POWRi_Racing or on

payouts can be found under the info tab at the top of the POWRi
