The races at Montpelier Motor Speedway will offer a "USAC Shootout" for all cars that qualify under USAC Midwest Thunder Midget rules. The plan is to run the Shootout following all B-mains (Montpelier runs the midget B-main first, and typically has several other B-mains for modified and stock cars) and before the intermission. This will leave time for teams to prepare for the Shootout if they participated in the B, and all Shootout participants will have time during intermission to prepare for the A if they have qualified. Participants in the Shootout will receive USAC points (if a USAC member), and top finishers will be eligible to receive cash bonuses. Montpelier has generously agreed to contribute to these bonuses, and the Series is currently soliciting sponsors to increase the payout, which will be announced in the future. Keep in mind these bonuses are in addition to any A-main purse or tow money earned by the participant and paid by the Speedway.

USAC Midwest Thunder Midget Races at Waynesfield Raceway Park will utilize a standard format of heats/B-main/A-main.
