POWRi Midget Racing

POWRi (Performance Open Wheeled Racing, inc.) is a dirt track racing sanctioning body based in the United States, founded by promoter Kenny Brown.

It organizes the POWRi National Midget Series, a midget car racing series rival to the USAC National Midget Series, as well as the POWRi West Midget Series and POWRi Outlaw Midget Series feeder series. Also it organizes sprint car racing series such as the POWRi WAR Sprints (wingless), Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series and Desert Wing Sprint League (winged), plus the POWRi 600cc Outlaw Micro Sprints.

Drivers that have competed in POWRi events include Tony Stewart, Kyle Larson, Bryan Clauson, Brady Bacon, Christopher Bell, Dave Darland, Rico Abreu and Andrew Felker.

Sprint cars weight 1,475 pounds and have 410 cu in engines that produce 900 horsepower.

A typical Midget weighs about 1,000 pounds and produces up to 350 horsepower from its four-cylinder engine. They are intended to be driven for races of relatively short distances, usually 2.5 to 25 miles (4 to 40 km).

The Gateway Racing Midget Series debuted in 2005, and was rebranded the POWRi National Midget Series in 2006 after a lawsuit by Gateway International Raceway owner Dover Motorsports.

The POWRi West Midget Series was launched in 2012.

POWRi is the only current midget series to compete at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.
