POWRi Midgets Set For Saturday Speedweek Event At Macon Speedway

(Macon, IL) The POWRi Lucas Oil National Midgets are in the state of Illinois, this week, competing at five different racetracks to determine a Speedweek Champion. On Saturday, the tour heads to Macon Speedway, in Macon, IL for an event presented by Decatur Building Trades. The 1/5-mile stop is one of the favorites for many on the POWRi schedule.

The 9th Annual Illinois Speedweek began on Wednesday night in Charleston, IL before heading to stops in Lincoln, IL on Thursday, Jacksonville, IL on Friday, Macon, IL on Saturday, and Brownstown, IL on Sunday. In addition to the headline division, the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League the POWRi Engler Machine & Tool Micros will be competing each of the five nights.

Coming into the week, Franklin, IN driver, Emerson Axsom, led the POWRi Midget National standings by 60 points over last year’s champion, Jake Neuman. The lead extended after the Charleston event, which Axsom found victory lane. Neuman, from New Berlin, IL, was the 2020 POWRi champion and is looking for back-to-back titles. Each driver has claimed one win this season. Each of the top five drivers in points represent a different state as Bryant Wiedeman from Colby, KS, Brenham Crouch from Lubbock, TX, and Brent Crews of Denver, NC round out the top five.

The POWRi Engler Machine & Tool Micros are led by Locust Grove, OK’s Daison Pursley. Pursley has claimed one win this season but has also claimed top fives in each of his other starts, giving him a 120 point advantage. Millersville, MO veteran driver, Joe B. Miller is second in the standings, claiming two feature wins in five starts. Frank Alusha, Bradley Fezard, and Tyler Kuykendall complete the top five.

The Decatur Building Trades Pro Late Models and Archers Alley Street Stocks will also be on track for Saturday night’s event.

Pit gates open at 3:00, grandstands at 5:00, hotlaps will start at 6:00, and racing will take the green at 7:00 PM. Grandstand admission is $20, while kids 11 and under are free.

Michael "Buddy" Kofoid won, Cannon McIntosh was 2nd and Kaylee Bryson was 3rd.

Kid, don't bother posting anything asking for a response from whoever does the posting for TEI. They don't respond. I think I pissed them off when I pressed them for a definitive answer as to when the midget feature would be scheduled in the huge A-main lineup. They refused to offer a straight answer saying that the running order of the A-mains depends on...............hell, I don't even remember now but it was bogus, nonetheless. When asked to clarify the confusion they give the silent treatment like we don't deserve an answer. Now they don't answer at all! Don't know if Sarge knows this crap is going on but I'll pass it along the next time I see him. He is quite forthcoming when asked about these things.

This show ran very late. Daison Pursley took a vicious tumble on the first corner of the first lap. It took the EMT's a long time to get Daison out of the racecar. They announced that they were taking him a hospital in Decatur for observation and it took a good while to get another ambulance to the track.

Between Pursley's injury and the fact that the late models, that naturally ran their A-main before the midgets, couldn't run more that 3/4's of a lap without a yellow and then they'd run 10 or 12 laps under yellow before it went back to green, it was a very late night!

Midget show was decent but not much above average. Thomas Meseraull was there and started from the pole but wrecked out due to circumstances beyond his control.

CIRF, Thanks for the update. I was watching it on LOT and I couldn't stay up for the A-main.

Glad to see Pursley was ok after that wreck. Yeah I thought Meseraul would win the race to be honest starting from the pole but, I will watch it tonight if I get time.
