Belle-Clair Meents Memorial 9/7/14
POWRi to Visit Belle-Clair Speedway for the Final Time of the 2014 Season at the Charlene Meents Memorial POWRi is scheduled to visit Belle-Clair Speedway on Sunday, September 7th for the 10th Annual Charlene Meents Memorial. This will be POWRi’s last visit to the Belleville, IL track this year. Since its inception in 2005, the Charlene Meents Memorial is an event that both fans and drivers look forward to all season. Recent past winners of the Charlene Meents Memorial include Zach Daum in 2013, Austin Brown in 2012, and Brett Anderson in 2011. The event is held in honor of former Midwest Auto Racing Association President, Charlene Meents. During her years with MARA, Meents was instrumental in keeping midget racing alive in the Midwest, especially the St. Louis area. She also played an important role in maintaining MARA’s presence in some of the country’s largest and most notable races, including the Belleville Nationals and the Chili Bowl Nationals. Though she passed away in August 2003, Meents is remembered by many as the friendly face who welcomed them to each MARA event. Along with her friends and family, the Charlene Meents Memorial keeps her racing legacy alive. Just as Meents contributed much to midget racing, several additional sponsors have contributed to the Charlene Meents Memorial. A big thank you to all of the following people and businesses: T-Shirt Sponsors - Hoosier Tire Midwest, In Memory of Howard Lehmann, Grosvenor Trucking, Siner Transport Co., Billings Bodywork Medical Massage, Spike Chassis, Lakeland Square Maytag Laundry, 4 Left Turns, and Horsepower Inc – Indy.

Gonna' make the trip down I 55 from The Springfield Mile following the conclusion of the Bettenhausen Memorial to Belle-Clair for the Meents Memorial.
I used to spend the weekend after Labor Day at Eldora for The World 100 but haven't done the World in about 8 or 9 years and don't miss it one little bit. In fact, I wouldn't trade this weekend of racing at Macon, Springfield and Little Belleville for a half dozen World 100's!!
