INAUGURAL TONY STEWART MIDGET CLASSIC
(INDIANAPOLIS) February, 14, 2015 - The Indianapolis Speedrome is proud to announce that on the night of Saturday, July 25, 2015, the historic fifth mile oval will be hosting the INAUGURAL TONY STEWART MIDGET CLASSIC.
The race will feature a 100 lap main event broken into 2 segments: 75 laps, and a 25 lap dash to the finish, with a 20 minute break in between the two.
Tony Stewart earned his very first USAC midget feature win in 1991 at the Speedrome, and went on to become the Speedrome USAC Midgets Rookie of the Year the very same year. “The Indianapolis Speedrome is a special place for me because it’s where I got my first USAC Midget win,” Stewart said. “It’s a huge honor to have a race named after me. I always enjoyed racing there and I’m sure Larry Curry will make this race enjoyable for the competitors and fans.”
Indianapolis Speedrome Managing Partner, Larry Curry says, “We are all very excited to have the opportunity to have such a great event in honor of Tony Stewart at the Speedrome.” Curry went on to say, “I was very lucky to have Tony as my race car driver, as well as work for him. He is a very special person, and one that I feel very lucky to refer to as a friend.”

What rules are going to be used to govern this race?

Is this a Kenyon Midget or Full Midget show?

That's the Brickyard 400 weekend so there should be a lot of NASCAR fans in town looking for a race to attend. And it will likely be a better show than anything that's going on at IMS on that Saturday. The Nationwide race has been pretty uneventful since it left Raceway Park. It's a pretty smart move on the part of the Speedrome.

Full Midget show

It would be neat if it was $5000 to win/ $1000 to start...buy your tire at the track...wheel base rule...drive line rule....first car to the checker wins!

Rules and pay outs ?

anyone want to give an old fat guy a ride?

Roy,Steve and I have already talked about putting the pavement setup back on the car. Would love to put the Butler car back together for this one but will probably see if we can put your old car in the show..

This is an awesome Race. Glad Tony brought a race there again. Can't wait
