BELLEVILLE, Ill. – The Iowa Sprint League has joined forces with the Performance Open Wheel Racing, Inc. sanctioning body.

With POWRi as a sanctioning body, the POWRi Lucas Oil Iowa Sprint Car League will primarily run throughout the Midwest, focusing on Iowa, Missouri and parts of Illinois.

“This will be a perfect opportunity for the Iowa Sprint Car League to continue to grow non-wing sprint car racing in the Heartland of the Midwest,” said POWRi’s Kenny Brown.

With the addition of the POWRi Lucas Oil Iowa Sprint Car League, there will now be two non-winged POWRi champions crowned. POWRi also sanctions the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League.

“This is what the racer’s asked for; it helps to grow the Iowa Sprint League as well as getting to race closer to home,” said Iowa Sprint League Director Joe Leer.
