POWRi Racing Press Release

Posted by: | Comments (0)

June 8, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Knepper, Loyet lead Midgets, King, Beckinger top Outlaw Micros going into 1st POWRi events at West Plains, Springfield

POWRi’s Lucas Oil National Midget Series and Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micros will race for the first time at West Plains (Mo.) Motor Speedway on Friday (June 10) and Springfield (Mo.) Raceway on Saturday (June 11).

Nick Knepper, of Belleville, Ill., leads the Midget championship over Brad Loyet, of Sunset Hills, Mo., 1,030-850 with six events completed. Tim Siner, of Dupo, Ill., is third with 740, followed by Dereck King, of Vienna, Ill., with 730 and Brett Anderson, of Belleville, Ill., with 680.

The 24-year-old Knepper has two second places, three thirds, a fourth and an eighth in features in POWRi Midgets this season. Loyet was 19th at Du Quoin, Ill., and 16th at Grain Valley, Mo., in the opening two events before taking back-to-back victories at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., and Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville., Ill., and adding seconds at Brownstown, Ill., and Peoria, Ill.

Siner has four top-10s including third at Du Quoin, King has four-top fives including second at Belleville and Anderson has a victory at Grain Valley and three more top-eight finishes.

“The competition in POWRi is as tough as ever,” Knepper said. “There are seven or eight drivers capable of winning on any night.”

Knepper, fourth in the championship last season, will be hunting for his first win of 2011 this weekend.

“We’ve been consistent, so far, so good,” Knepper said. “Eighth at Brownstown has left a sour taste in my mouth, I know we were better than that. But we went from (starting) 14th to third at Peoria and that was a very good run. I’d like to get some wins. I’m tired of finishing behind those guys.”

Teams from the Southern Open Wheel Series (SOWS) and the Lucas Oil ASCS EcoTec Midgets are also expected to enter at West Plains and Springfield. Revolution Racing Engines will pay $150 to the top finisher and $50 for second with the RRE EcoTec.

King leads runner-up Trent Beckinger, of Evansville, Ind., 900-720 in the POWRi Outlaw Micros with Joe B. Miller, of Millersville, Mo., third with 710, J.B. Gilbert, of Charleston, Ill., fourth with 700 and Jordan Campbell, of Bloomington, Ill., fifth with 560.

King, a three-time POWRi Micros champion, has a victory at Wayne County, Ill., a pair of seconds, a third and a seventh in the five features. Beckinger didn’t enter DuQuoin and has climbed in the points with a win at Brownstown, Ill., second at Peoria, Ill., third at Wayne County and sixth at Belle-Clair.

“It’s really exciting to be that far up there after missing a race,” Beckinger said. “We’re going to really try to run all the races and run for the championship. I feel like POWRi is some of the best Micros racing in the nation.”

Miller has four top-six finishes including second at Brownstown, Gilbert was four top-nines including a third at Belle-Clair and Campbell has a third, fourth and seventh in five features.

Saturday’s event on Springfield’s quarter-mile will be a showdown between the POWRi Micros and the Lucas Oil ASCS2 Outlaws, who are co-sanctioning. Teams from the ASCS2 Outlaws are also expected to run Friday on West Plains’ three-eighths mile. The event pays $1,000 to win and $100 to start.

The # 1 of Phil Meisner Jr, on 7 cylinders, held off a late race charge by # 175 of Jeff Geiges to win his first TSRS Sprint Car feature.

MEISNER IS MONEY AT NEW EGYPT; WINS ON SEVEN CYLINDERS
Media Contact: Pete MacDonald 732-644-0975

MEISNER IS MONEY AT NEW EGYPT; WINS ON SEVEN CYLINDERS
New Egypt, NJ - June 4, 2011 - Second generation driver Phil Meisner Jr. from Bordentown, NJ held off a hard charging Jeff Geiges to win his first career Tri-State RaceSaver Series feature Saturday night at the New Egypt Speedway. By winning Meisner becomes the sixth different winner in as many races in 2011.

"I dropped a cylinder there with about five or six to go, I saw him (Geiges) try to get underneath me but I knew if i kept my momentum up top he would have a hard time getting around me" said Meisner.

Feature Winner Chris Allen Jr. and TSRS Rookie Mike Esposito lead the 20 car field to the wire on Saturday as it would be Allen getting ahead early. Allen would lead laps one through eight until a hard charging third place starter Phil Meisner would go top-shelf and around Allen coming down to complete lap nine. Meisner would just start to set sail as the yellow would wave for Pat U'Sellis and new comer Frank Lieto who came together in turns one and two. Once green replaced yellow Meisner continued to lead but the man on the move would be defending TSRS Champion Jeff Geiges who started to move forward getting up to the number two spot. Geiges would chase Meisner lap after lap up until lap fifteen when rookie contender Kyle Reinhardt spun in turn two. The restart put Geiges right on Meisner's tail tank. Meisner jumped back out to the lead but Geiges would start to stalk him harder and harder as Geiges would throw a unsuccesful slide job at Meisner with four to go. The final caution would wave on lap seventeen for Bobby Devault who broke on the back stretch ending his night setting up a three lap dsah for the checkered. Meisner would lead the final three laps and and cruise to his first career TSRS win. Geiges would have his best run of the season coming home second, current point leader John Wyers came home third with rookies Jeff Schall and Stephanie Stevens rounding out the top five.

The Tri-State RaceSaver Series is off this Saturday and will return to action Saturday night June 18 back at the New Egypt Speedway.

The Tri-State Sprint Car series is a quick and economical way to go Sprint Car racing in the Mid Atlantic region. Racers are encouraged to call series director Joe Grandinetti at 215-355-0510 or e-mail racinjoe23@yahoo.com or you can visit them on the web at http://www.tsrs1.com

AMSOIL USAC EASTERN STORM

Tuesday, May 31 and Thursday, June 2. . . . . . . .
AMSOIL USAC WINGLESS SPRINTS COME EAST JUST ONCE A YEAR, GRANDVIEW SALUTES JESSE HOCKETT

The fifth annual return of the AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Tour , known as the "Eastern Storm" is fast approaching. Two tracks on the popular tour include the Grandview Speedway with an event on Tuesday night, May 31 followed by a visit to the New Egypt Speedway on Thursday night, June 1. The nationally known stars of USAC will head east with a big following of competitors as they chase the nightly winner's share of $6,000.

Get ready to see some of the most incredible side-by-side racing you'll see anywhere. There is wheel-banging and wild slide jobs and that's just the norm when the USAC wingless sprint cars hit the race track. At facilities like Grandview Speedway and New Egypt, the track size and configuration just make the show that much better. Many race fans will tell you that watching the USAC wingless sprints time trial at Grandview is worth the price of admission itself. At New Egypt, the USAC stars thrilled the race fans last year as they backed their cars into the turn, being nearly sideways all the way through the corners.

The drivers of USAC are nationally known and many have ventured on to even higher levels of auto racing. Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne are just two graduates of the USAC wingless sprint tour. The Grandview event will also mark a special night, with this event dedicated in tribute to one of the all time greats, with the 2nd Annual Jesse "The Rocket" Hockett Classic. Hockett, winner of two of the four previous USAC shows on the hill at Grandview, was killed in a garage accident in May of 2010.

Casey Shuman, Tempe, AZ, Chris Windom, Canton, IL, Bryan Clauson, Noblesville, IN, Keith Bloom Jr, Anderson, CA, Hunter Schuerenberg, Sikeston, MO, Levi Jones, Olney, IL, Damion Gardner, Concord, CA, and the "Modern Day Cowboy" Daron Clayton of Sikeston, MO are just some of the USAC stars heading east. At last count, as many as twenty-five drivers are looking to take part in the USAC Eastern Storm Series.

In the four previous USAC Eastern Storm events at Grandview, Levi Jones won the opener in 2007, the late Jesse Hockett won the next two events as Levi Jones returned to Grandview in 2010 to win the first annual Jesse Hockett Classic. Also on the program at Grandview Speedway on Tuesday, May 31 with the AMSOIL USAC Wingless Sprints will be the ARDC Wingless Midgets, making this show a "must see" open wheel double-header that will get underway at 7:30 PM.

Back by popular demand, the USAC Eastern Storm will once again return to New Jersey, with a stop at the beautiful and fan friendly New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, NJ on Thursday night, June 2. In 2010, it was USAC's first visit to the state of New Jersey in thirty-two years and the great show makes it well worth the wait. This unique shaped race track provided some of the most dramatic side-by-side racing of the series and at the end of the night, it was Levi Jones standing in victory lane. The Big Block Modifieds will share the program again in 2011. Duane Howard and his BPG Modified were the class of modified field in 2010 and they'll be back chasing the $3,000 to win first place prize on Thursday night, June 2nd. More information is available at: www.newegyptspeedway.net

A $6,000 payday will go to the winner of each feature and a very lucrative total payoff plus a point fund for the USAC Eastern Storm competitors will lure some of the top drivers in the business. They only come east one time a year so make plans to see these two events on Tuesday, May 31 and Thursday, June 2nd.
