From POWRi
Belleville, IL. (3/9/26) – Continuing its role as the traditional season-opening event for POWRi National and West Midget League competition, the Thirteenth Annual Turnpike Challenge returns to Oklahoma with a three-night showcase across two premier Sooner State venues.
The annual spring staple opens with a single-night stop at Creek County Speedway on Thursday, March 12, before shifting east to Port City Raceway for a two-night finale on Friday and Saturday, March 13–14. The event once again brings together elite open-wheel competition, pairing National and West Midget League action with the Factory Fourteen National Open Wheel 600 Series.
