Belleville, IL.

Logging in a great field of nineteen POWRi RMLS drivers into the pits. a warm and fall Colorado evening would also greet competitors to a smooth-slick track ready to contain these lightning sprinters. El Paso County Raceway was primmed and pristine for the final event of the series season with Andy Flood, Dakota Dillin, and Johnny Boos gaining the early wins in heat racing action.

Bringing the field to green for the final feature of the season would see #31 Steve Becker and #21b BJ Sauer fight from the front-row into the first pair of corners as outstanding racing ensued behind the leaders. Becker would appear to have the lightning sprint to beat in the evening until #26 Chris Crowder would make a break for the front and take the lead.

Crowder, fresh from competing bi-weekly in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprints where he currently leads the points, would be on a mission in his home state leading the remaining revolutions. With his fourth POWRi RMLS series feature victory Crowder now moves into the second position in career wins behind Johnny Boos, with thirteen, in the two-year POWRi Rocky Mountain Lightning Sprint League history.
