Joined alongside the POWRi Outlaw Micros, fans will be treated to two thrilling shows at the Sweet Springs 1/6th-mile.

On Sunday, May 26, the POWRi Lucas Oil National / West Midgets take centerstage at Eldon, Missouri’s Lake Ozark Speedway. Making the third appearance in league history, the only two previous showings came in September of 2018 with Tucker Klaasmeyer and Logan Seavey snagging wins.
