USAC’s HONDA NATIONAL MIDGET SERIES

EXPANDS TO PENNSYLVANIA IN 2015

In 2015 the Honda National Midget Championship trail will include all of the major outdoor Midget events in the country, starting with the Kokomo Grand Prix in April and running through the famed Turkey Night Grand Prix on Thanksgiving Night in Perris, CA.

Rico Abreu is the defending champion of the series, while teammate Christopher Bell (the 2013 champion) is expected to be among primary challengers for the 2015 crown, along with Tracy Hines, who will continue his pursuit of the elusive USAC Triple Crown. Hines needs olny a National Midget title to accompany his previous championships in the AMSOIL National Sprint Cars and the Silver Crown Championship series to become USAC’s sixth Triple Crown king.

The extremely popular Indiana Midget Week returns with five consecutive nights of racing June 10-14, while traditions like the Belleville Midget Nationals in Kansas, the “Gold Crown Midget Nationals” at Granite City, Ill. and the Four Crown Nationals” at Rossburg, Ohio all continue in 2015.

New to the calendar are back-to-back races May 29 and 30 at Plymouth (Ind.) Speedway) a weekend of special racing in June that will be announced in the coming days.

The “Chad McDaniel Memorial” is slated July 28 at Solomon Valley Raceway in Beloit, Kans. in advance of the Belleville, Kansas spectacular which features not only the Midgets July 30 and August 1 but also the USAC Silver Crown return to the High Banks July 31.

Eastern race fans will delight in the three-race Pennsylvania slate August 18-19-20 involving Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run, Lincoln Speedway in New Oxford and Susquehanna Speedway Park in Newberrytown. The co-sanctioned ARDC events mark the first time USAC’s National Midgets have competed on Pennsylvania dirt in 26 years!

Interesting...no Hut 100.

Re: USAC: USAC’s HONDA NATIONAL MIDGET SERIES EXPANDS TO PEN
 

The three dates in Pennsylvania are interesting. Being originally from PA the tracks they chose are three of the best to see midget racing on. All would be worth going to see and you could center yourself in Harrisburg area to attend all three. Sounds like a midget nut's dream. In fact we might do this five night's of midget action. :8:

I was skeptical when I first heard this news but am very happy to see it come to life. I'll be at two of these races for sure!

It looks like only 2 nights for the gold crown.

No pavement like we didn't see this a year and a half ago.

Re: USAC: USAC’s HONDA NATIONAL MIDGET SERIES EXPANDS TO PEN
 

More races outside Indiana then inside Indiana

Re: USAC: USAC’s HONDA NATIONAL MIDGET SERIES EXPANDS TO PEN
 

Is this the full schedule other than the two TBA dates in June?

Re: USAC: USAC’s HONDA NATIONAL MIDGET SERIES EXPANDS TO PEN
 

I am glad that the schedule is out. I am glad that the Gold Crown is back on the schedule. I am sad to see no races at Angell Park. I am also very excited to see the Penn. dates. Not that I have anything to do with Penn. but rather because it is a co-sanctioned show with ARDC.

Maybe that's the "special weekend of racing in June" lol
