GRANT THE TOP POINT DRIVER ENTERING BC39 ON THURSDAY

Speedway, Indiana (August 19, 2021)………By charging from his sixth starting position to the victory in Wednesday’s fifth heat race, Justin Grant is the high-point driver heading into Thursday night’s Driven2SaveLives BC39 Powered By NOS Energy Drink finale at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Grant (Ione, Calif.) accumulated 150 points, besting the field of 71 drivers who competed in the eight heat races.* The points will accordingly be used to create Thursday’s six qualifying race starting lineups.

All cars are eligible for Thursday's six qualifying races. Qualifying races will be 10 laps each with top-six starting positions inverted and the top point earner from Wednesday's heat races starting sixth.* By virtue of being the driver with the most points, Grant will start sixth in the first qualifying race.

Total points from the Wednesday’s heat races and Thursday’s qualifying races will be added to set the feature starting lineup, along with transfers from the B-Main, C-Main and front of the D-Main races. The top-16 overall in accumulated points will start straight-up in the first eight rows of the feature.

D-Mains: 12 laps. Includes cars 45-71 in points. The top three finishers in each D-Main transfer into the C-Main.

C-Main: 15 laps. Includes cars 31-44 in points, plus the top three finishers from each D-Main. The top six finishers transfer to the B-Main.

B-Main (Semi-Feature): 20 laps. Includes cars ranked 17-30 in points, plus the top-six finishers from the C-Main. The top six finishers transfer to the night's A-Main feature event.

The 39-lap, $15,000-to-win A-Main feature will have 22 starters, plus two USAC provisional starters (if applicable) and two IMS options.

The main event will award feature points only toward the season-long USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship standings for all series-licensed drivers and entrants.* Ten points will be awarded to all non-feature starting licensed drivers and entrants.

The event on the quarter-mile dirt oval inside Turn 3 at IMS will continue to honor late USAC champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 starter Bryan Clauson and increase awareness of and participation in the Indiana Donor Network and Driven2SaveLives.

On Thursday, August 19, the drivers meeting will take place at the USAC trailer at 3pm Eastern.* Engine heat will begin at 4pm with hot laps hitting the track at 5pm and qualifying races beginning at 6pm.

Opening ceremonies will follow, then the program will immediately roll into the main feature events, starting with multiple 12-lap D-Mains, the 15-lap C-Main, the 20-lap semi-feature and the 39-lap main event.

Spectator tickets can be purchased directly at https://www.indianapolismotorspeedwa...ac/buy-tickets.* Spectators are to enter the Indianapolis Motor Speedway via 30th Street.

Every lap of the BC39 will be aired live on FloRacing at https://bit.ly/2ZpafUr.
