From USAC:
The 59th running of one of America’s most revered short-track races unfolds this Saturday night at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. It’s the “Hut Hundred,” with a three-abreast 33-car starting field planned to compete in a 100-lap race on the quarter-mile banked oval.

Bryan Clauson is the defending race winner and he enters Saturday’s race in a tie with Bobby East for the Mopar National Midget Series point lead.

Last year marked the first time the “Hut Hundred” had been held at Tri-State. The Terre Haute Action Track, Indiana State Fairgrounds, Lincoln Park in Putnamville and the Lawrenceburg Speedway have all played host to the race’

East is no stranger to victory lane either, having won the “Hut Hundred” at Terre Haute in 2004. Other race winners expected to compete Saturday are Darren Hagen (2006), Dave Darland (1999 and 2003) and Tracy Hines (2001).

The “Hut Hundred” debuted in 1954 and winners include A.J. Foyt, Mel Kenyon, Pancho Carter, Gary & Tony Bettenhausen, Johnny Parsons, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Jason Leffler and Rich Vogler, who claimed eight “Hut Hundred” wins between 1978 and 1989, including four in a row (1983-86).

From Jason Adams:
After leaving the track tonight and speaking to Tom and Loris Helfrich, they are very excited about this Saturday's 100 lap feature. The Helfrichs appreciate the extra effort put forth by USAC in contacting drivers for this event. They are confident it will be an exciting, must see event for all midget fans as there has been interest via phone and email from drivers of at least 7 different states.

After seeing this race last year I can"t wait

For those of you that heard everybody raving about the epic Gold Crown Nationals at the end of last year and wished you could have been there, don't end up kicking yourself again, by missing this one. The Gold Crown finale was one of the best midget races I've ever seen. That one BARELY beat out last year's version of this race.

33 of the country's best midget drivers. 100 laps. On a Helfrich prepared track. Come on, it can't miss.

Jerry
