The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series Returns For May 3 and May 17

The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series points chase will kick into high gear with two May appearances (Saturday, May 3 & Saturday, May 17) at the newly remodeled East Central Indiana bullring. The Leaders Edge of Indianapolis is the presenting title sponsor for the Midget series.

The event will feature the Montpelier’s Midget Series which features full size Midgets and power plants and allows a platform for other engines including Focus, Ecotech, and Motorcycle powered entries to compete utilizing an unlimited weight break and additional tire width. The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series features an open tire brand and compound rule..

2012 Midget Series Champion, Lynsey Liguori (Liguori #6RR), won the opening night program in a slug fest with Tate Martz (Steele #2), Nick Lucas (#10 Moore), and Isaac Chapple (Chapple #52). Martz led the first 19 circuits while enduring heavy pressure from Lucas, Liguori, and Chapple. The heavy battle continued off of the final corner of the feature with Liguori grabbing the lead by inches from the trio at the finish line. With the win, Ligouri became just the 2nd repeat winner in the history of the series joining Shane Hollingsworth as the only other repeat winner.

General Admission will be a great value for fans at only $12 with Kids (12 and Under) - FREE!

Canceled May 3rd

Cancelled due to equipment failure. Not sure but this was their facebook post May 3rd

Said the Grader blew a Head Gasket

A broken piece of track equipment late in the day has forced the cancellation of the May 3rd racing program at the Montpelier Motor Speedway. The track crew was busy preparing the track for Saturday's racing program when the track's back up grader blew a head gasket. The track's main grader is currently in for service after the renovation project. The track staff attempted to rent a grader to complete track preparations, but no rental/excavation companies could deliver rental equipment until Saturday leaving little time to prepare the track to a safe and raceable surface.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway staff regretfully announces this cancellation is looking forward to hosting races on May 10th. The Montpelier Motor Speedway will look for additional race dates for the Midgets and other classes to compensate for the missed program

Wish there was something we could do to help, hopefully you guys are getting all the bad breaks out of the way early and it'll be pedal to the metal for the rest of the season.
