Sun Prairie, Wis., Dec. 10---Officials of the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association (BMARA) released a twenty-two race schedule for the 2013 racing season, today. It will mark the 77th year of sanctioning midget auto racing, for the country's oldest midget auto racing organization. The Stark Automotive Group/Mid-State Equipment Badger Midget Series will contest events at eight tracks in Wisconsin and Illinois.

Sun Prairie's Angell Park Speedway continues as the cornerstone of the series, with eleven races slated at the famed 1/3-mile facility, with new track promoter Kenny Brown. Among the Angell Park highlights include: expansion of the "Pepsi Midget Nationals" to a two-day event on Aug. 31 and Sep.1; a Memorial Day weekend doubleheader; and "The 77th Anniversary Race" on July 14, those events will be co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget Series. "The Cornfest Midget Classic" will tri- sanctioned by USAC, Bager and POWRi on Aug. 18, along with the June 23 event. The Angell Park season kickoffs on Sunday Night May 19.

The Wilmot (Wis.) Speedway will host "The 7th annual Salute to Harry Turner" on July 13, a co-sanctioned event with POWRi and return for a second date on Aug. 10. Badger will co-sanction nine events in Illinois with POWRi at six different tracks, including the four-day Illinois Midget Week events June 6-9. Remaining events will be announced shortly.

The Badger 600 Micro Series will run all eleven events at Angell Park Speedway, along with both Wilmot Speedway races. Additional stand-alone races for the Micro's will be announced in early January.

Thanx Bryan!

Is the June 9 race listed at Danville a mistake, or:
1. Are you running against the POWRi Illinois Midget Week race at Little Belleville, or;
2. Has the Little Belleville race been switched to Danville?

JMO. It would make sense for a different track to be part of Speedweek since little Belleville is going to have a co-sanction with USAC 4th of July show. It would make sense to spread the dates and to spread out the risk.

I agree with you 100%. I would love to see a midget show, or any other kind of open wheel show, at Danville. I really like that track, and Little Belleville does have other dates.

?

sure would be nice if there was a midget club in indiana and ohio

[staggerman]

All the dirt tracks in WI and Badger only runs at two of them. Sure surprised they can't branch out to some other venues.

Montpellier is about the closest thing for us Ohio guys and its a nice program there too
Ohio has some nice tracks but you hardly ever see any open wheel action on them unfortunately.
