The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series presented by Leaders Edge returns this Saturday, August 20th for an action packed program. The event will feature the Montpelier’s Midget Series which features full size Midgets and unlimited power plants and allows a platform for other engines including Focus, Ecotech, and Motorcycle powered entries to compete utilizing an unlimited weight break and additional tire width. The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series features an open tire brand and compound rule.

Davey Ray became the first back to back 2016 Midget winner at Montpelier with his August 6th Victory over Shane Hollingsworth, Colton Cottle, Ray Seach, Logan Arnold, and Tyler Nelson. Logan Arnold enters the weekend with 3 events remaining as the points leader over Gate Etgen, Chett Gehrke, and Thomas Bigelow. Gunnar Lucius is the current Rookie of the Year leader.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features such as a new catch fence system along with a new front stretch wall, lighting system, transponder scoring, and corner runoff areas. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series. The Montpelier Motor Speedway serves as a host for USAC National Sprint Cars, USAC Indiana Midget Week, MSCS Sprint Cars, NRA Sprint Invaders, and BOSS Sprint Cars.
