THE BUSIEST USAC MIDGET DRIVERS OF THE PAST DECADE

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (February 5, 2020)………A new decade of USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget racing is upon us beginning this weekend, February 7-8, at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla. *Looking back on the past 10 years, we review some of the busiest drivers of the past decade of the 2010s with the series.

The driver with, far and away, the most USAC National Midget starts between 2010 and 2019 was Jerry Coons, Jr. with 170.* The USAC Triple Crown champion and two-time Midget titlist enters 2020 with a full-time ride for Petry Motorsports in 2020 and aims to build onto his impressive resume that includes 19 career wins.

Zach Daum, a Hut 100 winner in 2011, notched 134 starts in the decade followed by Bryan Clauson in third, who racked up a pair of titles in 2010 and 2011 and was one of the most decorated drivers in the history of the series in his brief life and career through 2016.

Tracy Hines was fourth in USAC National Midget starts during the decade at 127, the most recent of which came at the conclusion of the 2015 season where he clinched his long-awaited series title, the third and final prong to his USAC Triple Crown.

Tanner Thorson, the 2016 series champion, collected 115 starts during the decade, which includes 13 victories and is an expected entrant for this weekend’s Winter Dirt Games XI.

See the full list below for the drivers who’ve made the most feature starts with the series from 2010-2019, 1-170 and A through Z.

The 21st century version of the Roaring 20s begins this Friday night, February 7, the drivers meeting begins at 6pm Eastern with cars getting on track at 6:30pm.* The action gets underway an hour earlier on Saturday night, February 8, with the drivers meeting set for 5pm and cars on track at 5:30pm.

General admission tickets both nights for adults are $25 and $20 for kids age 11-15.* Pit passes are $35 apiece.* You can watch all the action live on www.FloRacing.com or listen to free audio of the broadcast on the USAC app or on your desktop or laptop at http://mixlr.com/usac-official/.* You may also follow along with live timing from the event on the USAC app.

A practice night for the midgets opens the Winter Dirt Games XI festivities on Thursday, February 6, from 6-9pm at Bubba Raceway Park.* Grandstand tickets are free while pit passes are $20 apiece.* The Sunoco Southern Fuels Gladiators will also be on the event card with the midgets all three nights.
