Friday, April 26th Knepper Memorial Cancelled

Belleville, IL – Tomorrow’s 28th Annual Arnie Knepper Memorial featuring action from the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League and the POWRi Engler Machine & Tool 600cc Outlaw Micro League has been cancelled due to the continuous rainfall over the past three days. POWRi and Belle-Clair Speedway officials are actively seeking a date for rescheduling. “The rain gauge at the track shows three inches of rain,” commented Brian Thompson of Belle-Clair Speedway.
