I wouldn't classify this as breaking news,pretty much everyone's equipment is tired or needing rebuilding plus preparing for the Chili Bowl.

I'm sick of watching hours of spin fest waiting to watch midgets. So at least I'll be spared this going forward.

It is interesting news that they have already decided no midgets next year

2019 42 cars and the chili bowl was 24 days away

This year 1/2 the cars and Tulsa is 38 days away.

I think the difference is how many midget races were scheduled in November in 2019. NASCAR banquet costs you Bell, Larson. Maybe the midget teams thought it was a lot of waiting around with stock cars being the priority.

That track is rougher than a two dollar steak. Nothing but a demolition derby.
