Friday, October 2nd Meents Memorial
Belleville, IL – Friday, October 2nd is set for the 11th Annual Charlene Meents Memorial, featuring POWRi Lucas Oil National Midgets, POWRi Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micros, and UMP Modifieds. The final event on the 2015 schedule, this will be the last dose of action at the high-banked fifth mile until 2016.
The event is held in honor of former Midwest Auto Racing Association President, Charlene Meents. During her years with MARA, Meents was instrumental in keeping midget racing alive in the Midwest, especially the St. Louis area. She also played an important role in maintaining MARA’s presence in some of the country’s largest and most notable races, including the Belleville Nationals and the Chili Bowl Nationals. Though she passed away in August 2003, Meents is remembered by many as the friendly face who welcomed them to each MARA event. Along with her friends and family, the Charlene Meents Memorial keeps her racing legacy alive.
Just as Meents contributed much to midget racing, several additional sponsors have contributed to the Charlene Meents Memorial. A big thank you to all of the following people and businesses:
