When the 2019 racing season fires up in a few short months, the state of Colorado will welcome a new non-wing sprint car series to the docket sanctioned by Performance Open Wheel Racing, Inc. (POWRi). The Colorado-based POWRi Lucas Oil Warrior Sprint League will feature a 12-15 race schedule.

Based on the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprint League that has risen to national acknowledgment, the newly-formed POWRi Lucas Oil Warrior Sprint League will take on a similar model in hopes of establishing a booming sprint car scene in Colorado. The Warrior Sprints will adopt the WAR rulebook, which most notably boasts an open motor rule.

El Paso County Raceway in Calhan will serve as the league's home track through the inaugural campaign with other trips to I-76 Speedway in Fort Morgan and Holyoke. An official schedule will be released soon, but the season will pick up in April and come to a conclusion in October.

The new project is being spearheaded by Denver's Joe Bellm, a veteran of sprint car and midget racing. Bellm has previously been the driving force behind BST Promotions, which has had a large hand in bringing the Colorado Alliance Tour, IMCA Weekly Racing and the RaceSaver Sprints to life in his home state.

Joining the Rocky Mountain Midget Racing Association (RMMRA) and Rocky Mountain Lightning Sprint Association (RMLSA), racers will be allowed to use one license to conveniently compete in all leagues. Along with that, a feature provisional for the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial is on the line for the highest driver in Warrior Sprints point standings that does not qualify for the main event.

Racers can register online with the league at POWRi.com while the Warrior Sprints League side of the website is being set up.
