Midges at Montpelier With Fireworks This Sat., June 25

The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series returns for their second June date this Saturday, June 25th with a program that will not only feature Midgets but also a large fireworks display. Davey Ray picked up the feature event win on June 18th becoming the 5th different Midget winner at Montpelier after 5 Midget events during the 2016 season. Logan Arnold and Gage Etgen enters the weekend tied in the MMS championship point standings.

The event will feature the Montpelier’s Midget Series which features full size Midgets and unlimited power plants and allows a platform for other engines including Focus, Ecotech, and Motorcycle powered entries to compete utilizing an unlimited weight break and additional tire width. The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series features an open tire brand and compound rule. The event will also feature a 2nd and separate trophy dash for the USAC Midwest Thunder Midget series. The series has averaged 22 cars at the four previous events sponsored by Leaders Edge of Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features such as a new catch fence system along with a new front stretch wall, lighting system, transponder scoring, and corner runoff areas. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series.

This is where I'll be tonight, I'll try to post some results as the evening progresses in midgets and mods for those that are interested.

Running behind at Pelier, can't stress it enough people, especially with Indiana Sprint Week coming up in July.

Don't be the one that passes out because you're not hydrated.

Most of us are adults and yes, beer rocks my socks off, but be responsible

[Nate]

No updates from me tonight, sorry.

Midget feature is just pushing, some bad luck for the track plus a lengthy red for a crash in one of the stock classes sent me home early with an early day tomorrow.
