TULSA, Okla. (February 21, 2019) - In just 16 days cars will hit the track for the first time in 2019 as Open Practice is set for Saturday, March 9 at Port City Raceway located just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The three day extravaganza of 600cc Micro Sprint racing will begin on Thursday, March 14 and will run through Saturday, March 16.

On Sunday, March 24 the POWRi Lucas Oil National and West Midget Leagues along with the POWRi Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micro League will return to the Port City Raceway for the 6th Annual Turnpike Challenge.
In previous years, Christopher Bell has dominated all but one of the Turnpike Challenge finales. The one he didn’t win was because he wasn’t in attendance due to a scheduling conflict within his NASCAR schedule. That year, 2016, Jason McDougal took the victory. Matt Sherrell took the prelim night victory in 2016.
The Turnpike Challenge will kick off on Thursday, March 21 at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma followed by two nights at Oklahoma City's I-44 Riverside Speedway on Friday-Saturday, March 22 and 23 before making their final stop at Port City Raceway on Sunday, March 24.
