Last nights show was a special USAC All Star Race. It was only supposed to be for 12 midgets. Levi & Swindell weren't there so they added Daum to make it 11 cars.
-----------------------------------------
From the USAC press release:
Thursday’s action includes a special 12-car “shootout,” featuring the top eight drivers in USAC’s Mopar National Midget standings as of July 6, plus four “at-large” selections. Scheduled for opening-night racing are Sweet, Kuhn, Hines, two-time Belleville champ Jerry Coons Jr., former Belleville champ Bobby East, defending National Midget champ Cole Whitt, Darren Hagen and Kevin Swindell, plus “at large” stars Levi Jones, USAC Triple Crown and two-time Belleville champ Dave Darland, former Belleville champ Josh Wise, and Henry Clarke. They will compete for four automatic berths in Saturday night’s 40-lap “Belleville Midget National” finale.

Nothing against Henry Clarke, but it couldn't really be an "all-star" race if it included him and didn't include BC and Boat. There has to be more to it than the PR stated.
