BELLEVILLE, Ill. – POWRi will open its season this weekend with a multi-division show at Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Mo.

Featuring the POWRi Lucas Oil National and West Midget Leagues as well as the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League, Valley Speedway will host the Mid-State Open-Wheel Nationals on May 23-24.
