Belleville, IL. (7/30/23) Discovering a duo of racing possibilities on the weekend racing agenda, the POWRi Lightning Sprint Division would collect at a single region completing the weekend competitions at a pair of great fantastic hosting venues as entrants chase points in continually developing the National points picture. With action limited, the northern dominance continues as the championship chase witnesses Dexter Dvergsten overtake the youthful brother-sister Taves duo atop the leaderboards while running one-two-three in the standings as the fifteen-race-limiting threshold comes into play.
Feature winners over the weekend would only witness the Minn-Kota area in action with a double shot of action with Dexter Dvergsten attaining his thirty-sixth career win at River Cities and Kelsi Pederson gaining her thirteenth career feature win while racing at Buffalo River.
