POWRi WAR Return to Valley Speedway’s Lawson Memorial this Saturday

By POWRi (Grain Valley, MO) -- Returning to honor a lasting legacy of area great during the mid-season swing of familiar running grounds, the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League will next visit Valley Speedway on Saturday, July 15th for the Annual ‘Bill Lawson Memorial’.

Open Wheel Driver during the 1950-1960s, father of Dan Lawson, and grandfather of Justin Lawson. Bill Lawson served in the Marines during WWII and in the Air Force as an Aircraft Mechanic during the Korean War.
