2012 Midget Drivers

Since Indiana Midget Week will soon be here, I thought I would get started on a list of possible drivers. This list is mainly composed of drivers who have competed in the USAC midget races this year, with some POWRi drivers and a few ARDC drivers who have come out in past years. It is in no way meant to be either a comprehensive list of everyone who will show up, nor do I expect that everyone listed here will show up. The letters in side parentheses (b, etc) are the colors where b=black, bl=blue, or=orange, r=red, sil=silver, w=white, y=yellow, fl=flames.

6/14 - Gas City participants shown in [B]bold.
6/15 - Updated with Lincoln Park additions
6/16 - Updated with Bloomington additions
6/17 - Updated with Lawrenceburg addition

NOTE: A list containing only those cars and drivers who have participated in the 2012 Indiana Midget Week has been added further down this thread.

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

14 Bryan Kobylarz
77 Alex Bright raced last year.
88 Brenden Bright

These other two might also. I'll see if I can get some more info on the ARDC guys.

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

Will Steve B. be driving the #0 or the #25 we see him in out here?

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

I suspect that Steve will run the 25. That his favorite number and he'd run that in ARDC, but it's owned by another team. I'm prety sure he's set for Midget Week. He sets that up on his schedule with the 410 team he races with back here in the east.

Fred, do you know what numbers they will have? I think Michael had #43 last year, but I'm not sure. Glad to see him back.

Shane Cottle is scheduled to run at least Gas City.

No, sorry.

I'm a newbie here.
My son and I are headed out from PA for the whole series.
I've been to all the tracks before except for Putmanville.
A pair of questions, at all the tracks can we put blankets down ahead if time to save seats and what are the normal support divisions.
Thanks, we're really looking forward to the week.

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

Blankets are OK. All 5 shows have nonwing sprints as a support class. In addition, Gas City has Thunder Cars, Putnamville and Lawrenceburg have modifieds, and Kokomo has Street Stocks. Doesn't look like Bloomington has anything except sprints and midgets!

Does anyone know if this is going to be the 1ST or something else?

It will not be the 1st as Sauciers sold that car. Possibly one he drove earlier in the year??

Pickens won the POWRI race at Grain Valley in the number 1, a New Zealand car that was shipped over. I'd look for him to be in that car for Midget Week. And Belleville too, maybe?

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

Pickens in the 1NZ Breka/ Esslinger and Smee in the 7AU Spike/Esslinger

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

The list has been updated through last night's race at Gas City, with the cars which were there in bold.

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

This list contains only those drivers who participated in the 2012 Indiana Midget Week. I believe we had 49 cars and 50 different drivers.

Updated through last night at Lawrenceburg.

Re: 2012 Midget Drivers

The Indiana Midget Week list has been updated to include all cars and drivers participating in IMW. I'll try to update the comprehensive list before the Gold Crown Nationals. If there are any corrections, please let me know and I will be glad to make them.
