USAC REGIONAL MIDGETS TO TAKE ON GRANITE CITY JULY 1ST

Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois will play host to a USAC Regional Midget event on Friday night, July 1, 2016.

The $2000-to-win feature event will take place at the 3/8-mile, semi-banked dirt oval alongside the Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) Winged Sprint Cars, allowing several drivers the chance to pull double-duty in both series’ events at the same track on the same night.

“We are excited about this new addition to our midget schedule,” USAC Series Director Levi Jones said.* “This event is part of USAC’s continued, growing regional racing efforts to give midget racers more events to compete in.”

USAC’s Midget division has competed at Tri-City on 43 occasions dating back to Danny Frye’s victory in 1961.* In addition to the regional midget event in July, the USAC Midget National Championship will make a visit Tri-City for three consecutive nights of action at the “Gold Crown Midget Nationals” on October 6-7-8 this year.*

Minden, Nevada’s Tanner Thorson was victorious in both of last season’s USAC Midget appearances at Tri-City, sweeping both nights of the “Gold Crown” in September of 2015.
