Belleville Midget Nationals dates

Jonr · 12/6/12, 7:06 PM

The dates published by USAC earlier in the year is not matching up with the dates published on thier schedule that was released today.

Below is what was published earlier in the year:
The August 1-3 schedule calls for a full program of USAC Midget racing, along with Silver Crown practice on Thursday night, Silver Crown qualifying and feature on Friday and the Midget finale on Saturday.

Is this just an oversight, or have they changed the plan from the orginal press release.

I noticed that too. The SC race is shown on a Thurs. The Hoosier Hundred is listed as May 23rd which is also a Thursday. I hope that's incorrect.

My guess is that it's an oversight. The finale of the midget nats has always been Saturday night. I can't imagine they'd change that. But then, I suppose stranger things have happened.

This is a holiday tradition. Happens every year about this time.

The Hoosier 100 is on Thursday. From what I was told, it is because of all the activity at the Speedway on Fri. Also gives a rain date for the race.
