Belleville, IL. (5/19/22) Adding excitement annually for one of the fastest-growing divisions under the POWRi umbrella, the always exciting POWRi Lightning Sprint Nationals presented by Henchcraft of Canada returns for Memorial Day Weekend memories on May 28-29 at charming Central Missouri Speedway in Warrensburg, Missouri.

Located in Warrensburg Missouri, the well-ran quarter-mile oval of Central Missouri Speedway will host top talents from around the United States and Canada with a practice Friday, May 27th and two separate dates of racing on May 28-29 as drivers and fans alike will not want to miss out on this one-of-a-kind weekend racing event.

The POWRi Lightning Sprint Nationals presented by Henchcraft of Canada will be running in a “C-B-A Feature POWRi Format” based on the number of entries with each competitor using a $10 pill-draw each night to set their heat-race starting spot.

Ten-Lap Heat races will be based on the POWRi Passing Points System, with the Top-16 drivers in passing points locked into the night’s A-Main, drivers 17-33 in heat race passing points will go into the B-Feature with the remaining competitors relegated to the C-Main.

If needed, C-Feature racing will consist of 12-Laps with the top four finishers starting rear of the B-Main, B-Feature action will be 15-Laps as the first eight finishers will advance to the tail of the night’s A-Main Event starting grid. Saturday Night’s POWRi Lightning Sprint Nationals Feature will be 25-Laps with Sunday’s Championship Feature going 30-Laps.

Drivers who finish First and Second in Saturday’s event are guaranteed a starting spot in Sunday’s Main Event, if unable to qualify for Sunday’s feature. Drivers do not need to run both nights to qualify for the Sunday main event.
