Andrew Felker Returns to POWRi "Battle at the Center" with Victory in Sight!
Story by Walker Racing Promotions (Brittany Hull Photography)
Carl Junction, MO | December 15, 2014 - The final full event on the 2014 calendar sits just five days away and Andrew Felker is prepared more than ever to claim victory in POWRi's fifth annual "Battle at the Center." After falling just one spot short of the win in 2012, the Carl Junction, Missouri native will return to one of his favorite races as he takes on the "Mini Magic Mile" with his BOSS-Fontana No. 11A.
After capping off an impressive 2014 season that saw Felker claim five victories, start 55 features, and grab 14 top five finishes, the 22-year old Midget star hopes to close the year with one of the biggest wins of his career. This event that features a 40-lap feature race will also serve as a tune-up for Felker and his team as the prestigious "Chili Bowl Midget Nationals" sits only one month away.
Piloting his family owned Sixty-Six Truck & Foreign Salvage No. 11A, Felker roared from the 11th starting spot to take home second place in the 2012 running of this growing event. In 2011, at the second annual running, mechanical issues troubled the team all night long and ultimately without a feature start.
"I feel like I gave away the last Battle at the Center after having the better car and not taking my shot at Stewart," said Felker. "I'm hoping to have another great car there and to take advantage of it this time."
POWRi's fifth annual "Battle at the Center" will be run on Saturday, December 20th at the "Mini Magic Mile" inside the Southern Illinois Center in Du Quoin, Illinois. The event features heat races, qualifiers, and a 40-lap main event.
Felker would like to thank 66 Truck & Foreign Salvage, Auto Xpress, MelMark Pipe & Supply, Fontana Automotive, CSI Shocks, Engler Machine & Tool, Inc., 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.
