Andrew Felker Grabs Two Podiums in POWRi Action at Creek County and Lincoln!

Lincoln, IL | August 24, 2015 – Making two first-time visits of this season this weekend, Andrew Felker turned in two strong podium runs as he earned his 28th and 29th feature start of the year. Competing with POWRi West at Creek County and POWRi National at Lincoln, the Carl Junction, Missouri native earned two strong podiums of second and third aboard his MelMark Pipe & Supply, Stanton SR11 Mopar powered BOSS Chassis No. 11A.
Kicking the weekend off with his first race back on Oklahoma soil since March, Felker was set for POWRi West action on Thursday night at Creek County Speedway. Moving from sixth-to-third in heat race action, the 22-year old took the green flag in the main event from the eighth spot.
Quickly maneuvering his way inside the top five, Felker made his presence felt early on as he took the Sixty-Six Truck & Foreign Salvage, Auto Xpress, Engler Machine & Tool No. 11A to the front. Soon sliding into the second spot, Felker found himself challenging for the win in the closing laps. A late-race restart gave way to a slidejob for the lead, but the daring move would not stick as Felker held on to a strong second place bid.
Hauling nearly nine hours to Lincoln, Illinois for a POWRi National Midget event at Lincoln Speedway on Friday night, Felker was set for the first of two nights of racing in the “Illini State.” After starting heat race action from the fourth spot, the 2012 POWRi Midget champion pulled off a thrilling last-lap, last-corner pass as he grabbed his 13th heat race win of the year.
Rolling out for the 30-lap feature event on the outside pole, Felker dropped back into third on the initial start. Struggling early on with a new setup, the race got exciting near halfway as an intense battle broke out for the third spot. Defending his position as he matched every slider with a crossover, Felker would remain on the podium for the rest of the race as he crossed the finish line in the third spot.
After taking the upcoming weekend off, Felker will return to action as he competes in the Honda USAC National Midget Series “Gold Crown” at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois on September 4-5.
Felker would like to thank Sixty-Six Truck & Foreign Salvage, Auto Xpress, MelMark Pipe & Supply, Stanton Racing Engines, CSI Shocks, Engler Machine & Tool, Momo’s Racing Engines, BOSS Chassis, Schluckebier Farms, Pro Powder Coating, All-Pro Auto Interiors, Aggressive Graphics, KBR Performance, Weld Wheels, Heath II, Wilwood, Bell Helmets, Rod End Supply, Midwest Sheet Metal, and Butler Built for their continued support.
