Belleville, IL. (08/03/2020) Continuing the season the POWRi Lucas Oil Rocky Mountain Lightning Sprints would head to Honor Speedway in Pueblo, Colorado Saturday night.

With five winners in eight events for the POWRi RMLS which driver will find the edge going into crunch-time for the season championship quest? So far in 2020 for the Rocky Mountain Lightning Sprints Dakota Dillon has risen to the top of the standings with one feature victory and consistent placings in nearly every race. Open-Wheel journeyman Chris Crowder, also with one feature victory, currently resides in the second spot only twenty-nine points behind the leader and well within striking distance. Three-time feature winner Johnny Boos rounds out the top-three in points less than one-hundred points behind Crowder.
