Performance Open Wheel Racing Incorporated (POWRi) has announced it will sanction the POWRi Lucas Oil Outlaw Midget Series.

The POWRi Lucas Oil Outlaw Midget Series will primarily run in Florida and Mississippi, with series officials planning on visits to Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana as the series grows.

Employing economy-based midgets that utilize a stock production long block engine, the D-2 midget series originated in 2019 as part of a four-race schedule. The series grew to a dozen events in a 2020 shortened season while gaining entries since the inception.

“…joining POWRi felt like the best way to help grow even-more while keeping the driver’s interest first,” Outlaw Midget Series Director Shane Reavis said. “We have a ton of racing in the area from go-karts, stock cars, late models, and wing sprints. Now those drivers looking to move up from go-karts or competitors trying a new class have an affordable alternative.”

Under the POWRi brand, the Outlaw Midget Series is planning for 15 events in the upcoming season with added incentives on the line through the season points championship.
