IOW Fans - this race isn't in your area, but I thought you'd like to hear that we're having another midget show here in the DFW area...and fully plan to run them again next February...that announcement will come out in December:

Race Fans, You Asked For It, You Got It: $2000-to-win Cowtown Mid-Summer Midget Madness 8/22

Kennedale TX (7/22/09) by DarinShort.com. The race fans have spoken, and the high powered, full-sized midgets of the SMRS/USAC will converge upon Cowtown Speedway for an encore performance at the Cowtown Mid-Summer Midget Madness presented by National Health Care Advisors and Sunoco Race Fuels on August 22nd.

After a several year absence, the midgets returned to Cowtown Speedway this past February at the Cowtown Midget Championships, and played to a great crowd and the largest Midget field assembled in Texas in several decades. The result was wild wheel-banging, side-by-side racing, photo finishes and non-stop drama.

Similar action can be expected in this ‘Round 2’ of the raucous Midgets, when they roll into Cowtown Speedway and take on the wide, fast, ¼ mile high-banks. The 30-lap finale will pay the winner $2,000; and pays on down to $200 for starting the event.

Oklahoma’s Brady Bacon and Indiana’s Bryan Clauson took home the hardware in the February event. The Friday event left Missouri’s Brad Loyet seething, as Brady Bacon wheelied his way by for the win at the finish line, leading only the last couple of feet. Brad is expected to return to Cowtown for redemption at this event, and presently sits 2nd place in SMRS/USAC points. Current series point leader, Matt Sherrell, is also expected to be on hand.

Open-wheel aces, including local favorites Kevin Ramey, Justin Melton and George White, will take on the touring foes of the SMRS/USAC in what’s sure to leave fans buzzing once again by the time the night is over.

Midget teams must pre-register at the track website by 8/17 to receive reserved space in the pit area. The pre-entry list will be published on the track website as the event nears.

Joining the Midgets will be the high powered Cowtown Modifieds, the lightning fast Winged 600’s, Limited Modifieds, Street Stocks and Bombers. A Bomber Powder Puff race will wrap up the night’s racing action.

Fans should plan to arrive early, as the pits will be open to ticket holders from 3:45-4:45pm. This will give fans ample time to walk through the pits and get an up close and personal look at the cars and stars before the races. The pits and stands will then officially open at 5pm, with hot laps at 6:30 and races at 7.

By clicking www.CowtownSpeedway.com you will see a link to this event, containing the event flyer, advance online ticket sales, directions and much more. There is also a link to the recap page of this year’s Cowtown Midget Championships as a refresher.

Advance adult tickets are just $15, with youth tickets $5 and kids $2. Small coolers (the size of a 6-pack) are allowed in the stands, but no glass containers are allowed.

Don’t miss this night of high-powered, rough and tumble action as the Midgets make their 2009 encore performance at Cowtown Speedway with the $2,000 to win Cowtown Mid-Summer Midget Madness on August 22nd.

We've had 3 more entries since yesterday including Arkansas sprint ace, Eric Sandage.

And we absolutely plan to run the midgets again next February. I'll probably have that event flyer done sometime in November...possibly in time for the November Sprint Shootout ( www.cowtownspeedway.com/NSS09.html )

If you'd like to see some video clips from last night's USAC/SMRS midget race from Crandall TX (8/21) please go to www.youtube.com/user/DarinShortcom then click on the video links on the right side of the page. (It may be about 10AM CST before all of them finish uploading.)

There are 4 videos from last night's action leading up to the big Cowtown Mid Summer Midget Madness tonight at Cowtown Speedway. Click www.CowtownSpeedway.com for more info on tonight's race.

Also, I believe that www.PushinTheCushin.com will be having some sort of live remotes from the event, as they are sending a person down to cover it. Not sure what their exact plan is at the moment.
