Best racing we watched all year was the USAC National Midget show at Mighty Macon. That race was epic and an instant classic. Unfortunately it lacked horribly in fan support and as good as it was in 2017 it isn't on the USAC schedule for 2018. If we want good racing we fans need to support it. Sadly that didn't happen at Macon and it's really unclear as to why.

A close second goes to The Bettenhausen Memorial 100 at Springfield. 41 cars in the pits and the best USAC Silver Crown race we've ever seen!!

A close 3rd goes to the USAC National Midget race at Lincoln, IL. Christopher Bell backed up his epic performance at Macon with an incredible race at Lincoln the very next night.

Honorable mention goes to The Little 500 but we've grown to expect that to be the case.

Fairbury, Illinois is fast becoming a stalwart dirt open wheel venue'. I just wish they could get a USAC National show there. Don't matter if it's sprint cars or midgets. Either one would put on a hell of a show at FALS.

The biggest disappointment was the 4 Crown Nationals. Nuff said on that subject.
