The Montpelier Motor Speedway has only 1 midget race currently scheduled for the remainder of the 2012 season. If you are a midget driver or owner of a legal car in the division, your support of this final race would be greatly appreciated and will help to shape the direction of the series for 2013 in terms of scheduling, payout structure, rules, etc…. We hope to have and see your support during the 2012 season as we head into 2013. With fan and car support, we do currently have race dates left where Midgets could possibly be scheduled.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

I really hope to see a good turnout. One great night could turn into a show or 2 being scheduled in October. We had 27 the first night..and although there haven't been as many since the racing has been excellent.
