USAC/HOOSIER and MMSA comes together for the 2019 racing season with combined efforts in search of, “The USAC/HOOSIER Midwest Mini Sprint Association Series 2019 Champion”.

The chase for the USAC/HOOSIER/MMSA Championship has gotten a lot more attractive!

USAC/HOOSIER has contributed $5000 to our MMSA series to the chase contenders vying for the 2019 USAC/HOOSIER/MMSA championship.

In addition to the $5000 USAC will also have a national champion. That Champion will be honored at the USAC awards banquet in December.
That outstanding racer will be the one a top the MMSA standings and will be put head to head to any other lightning sprint series in the USAC association.
The racer with most victories at seasons end will pick up another $1000, and will be tabbed as the 2019 USAC Lightning Sprint Champion!

MMSA for the last several years has paid the top 20 chasers at seasons end a complete feature as point fund.
The additional funds from USAC and HOOSIER will indeed increase the money given out tremendously to the top 20 positions at the MMSA seasons end banquet held in French Lick later this year.
Over $7000 cash plus awards awaits the racers!

Good luck to all participants. USAC and MMSA memberships will be available soon.

Bloomington cancels...but rescheduled!

BOB KINSER MEMORIAL POSTPONED TO AUG. 30
Bloomington, Indiana (May 3, 2019)
Saturated grounds at Bloomington Speedway have put a damper on this Friday’s “Bob Kinser Memorial” on the quarter-mile dirt oval, forcing postponement of the event to Friday, August 30.
The event will feature Sprint Cars, MMSA Mini Sprints, UMP Modifieds and UMP Super Stocks. Adult general admission tickets are $15, with pit passes $30 apiece. Pits will open at 3pm Eastern with the front gates opening at 5pm.

Ok official word from Tim Keithley at Twin Cities Raceway...canceled for tonight he is in works for a race Sunday, but we MMSA won’t be on card.

Armbands will be honored for our next race Friday June 21st. This is a special race and will require additional money, (not certain pit price I assume additional $5). I will do my best to do more for MMSA that night also to offset things for the racer.

Try again next Friday at Thunder Valley Raceway, where we did get the show in last night!!!!!
Thanks all for the support of MMSA!

Re: Mmsa 2019
 

Midwest Mini Sprint Association finally got their season started this past Saturday night at Thunder Valley Raceway in Salem Indiana.
MMSA was 0-7 with mother nature going into this past weekend. Some 14 entries made their way to the little dirt track in Salem.
Mason, Illinois driver Andy Baugh, drove his Jonnies Garage backed sprinter to the front and would take the first of two preliminaries. Coming across the line behind Baugh was Cody Trammell, and Ethan Rutherford to round out top 3.
Heat two saw Brad Strunk hailing from Mason, Ohio, taking his Parsons Construction, Priority Title, NRL Mortgage, Penn Station, Hud Racing Engines, Simpson, Hoosier Tires, and Xcaliber Graphics ride and lead all 8 laps from his front row starting position. Following Strunk to the checkers were Barr and Haas to complete the prelims for the evening.
Completion of the heat race sets up the A-main starting grid with both heat winners starting from the 3 row due to the results passing points. Ohio would represent the front row with Anthony Haas and Ryan Barr, with Trammell and Rutherford row two and the fore mentioned Baugh and Strunk row three.
Barr would get the jump on the field to lead the first 3 laps. Baugh and Strunk would run Barr down and put on a great show for the top spots with the looming Trammell.
They would swap spots several times, the caution would fly when Barr would loop it in turn one and collecting a couple of cars. The race would restart but a red flag would halt the racing in a flash, with Kinzer Medler would get tied up on the start and putting his car on its side. Restart three would see the top three swapping the top 3 spots each lap.
Lap 19 of 20 Baugh taking the white flag and a nose ahead of Strunk. Baugh would catch the inside tractor tire on the track in turn one and ending his night upside down. Strunk would get a great restart and lead the final lap of the season opener for MMSA. Strunk picks up the first MMSA checkers of the year followed by Trammell, Coffey, Haas, Chambers, Rutherford, Deputy, Baugh, Beard, and Medler filling out the top 10.
MMSA is back in action Memorial Day weekend with a double header, Wayne County Raceway in Illinois on Saturday May 25th and Tri-State Speedway on Sunday May 26th.
