They'll have to call it the Honda USAC Midget "Dirt" car series next year.
USAC is trying to kill all of their pavement series... Look at the drivers that have bailed from the very famous race "The night before the 500" midget race at what I still call IRP.
These guys like Bobby East, Bryan Clauson, Billy Wease, Coondog, etc....are all at the Little 500 this year because the writing is on the wall. Pavement Midgets are just about as good as dead! And I blame it completely and solely on USAC, 100%!
They did it with the Sprint car series and now with midgets and Silver Crown cars next.
