Midgets Return To Back to Back Weekends at the Montpelier Motor Speedway Saturday, June 20th

The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series will jump back into action offering back to back weekends of Midget racing at the East Central Indiana bullring. The Midgets will return for race #3 on Saturday Night, June 20th followed by a second June event on Saturday, June 27th. The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series is averaging 25.5 entries thus far in the 2015 season. The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series is presented by the Leaders Edge of Indianapolis, Indiana.

The May 23rd event saw 26 entries with 2015 Powri Winner, Spencer Bayston, adding a Montpelier Motor Speedway victory to his already impressive Midget racing resume. Bayston survived an intense battle with Davey Ray (from 20th), Gage Walker, and Colton Cottle to pick up the feature win. Ray, Cottle, and Bayston picked up heat race wins while Robby Parish scored the B Main victory. Bayston became the 17th different Midget winner at the Montpelier Motor Speedway.

After two MMS Midget points events, 2015 MMS Winner Chett Gehrke is tied in points with the hard charging Gage Walker followed by Gray, Logan Arnold, and Bear Woods. Brandon Gray holds a slim margin for the Rookie of the Year honors over Bear Woods, Gage Etgen, and Cole Fehr.

General Admission will be $12 with Kids (12 and Under) – FREE!

Excellent announcement. This tells me many details about the track, along with some of the drivers I might expect to see, how many come, etc. I am sure that IOW members know what a midget looks like, but I would think that the graphic would be helpful for the new fans we all try to attract. Good job!

How's the grounds/track doing with all the rain we have had in north central Indiana? The forecast for the weekend has improved greatly but I can't imagine the track not being extremely wet or under water?
