LAKESIDE, Calif. — The Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series has released its schedule for the 2023 racing season, with 19 dates on the calendar. Among the 19 races will be first-time stops at the Bakersfield Speedway and the Ventura Raceway. The rejuvenated Imperial Valley Raceway will be the club’s home track in 2022 with six races scheduled. A longtime home to lightning races, last September’s SWLS appearance at the track was the first lightning race there in several years. It is a step for all of us (lightning sprints) here in California. In a change from the 2022 season when the SWLS had seven wingless races, there are only three topless shows on the schedule this year. “Plus the six-race ‘Best of the West’ series with CLS is all winged races.”.
