The Eleventh Annual POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek will again witness four nights of racing in the Land of Lincoln displaying some of the best midget racing on June 13-16 while attracting drivers from around the globe. Hosting the SPEEDWeek opener will see Coles County Speedway take center stage as the League will then head to Jacksonville Speedway for night two. Macon Speedway will serve as stop three before wrapping up the POWRi Illinois SPEEDWeek at Lincoln Speedway.

Hosting POWRi Leagues as a home facility, Lake Ozark Speedway will welcome the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues on July 5-6 for the Independence Weekend Celebrations joining the POWRi 410 Wing Sprint League for an open-wheel extravaganza of excitement.
