The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series returns to East Central Indiana this Saturday, May13th with a full slate of racing. The opening 2017 event boasted a record car count of 34 entries with veteran Davey Ray beating youngster Tanner Carrick to the finish line by .08. For Ray it was his 7th MMS victory while Columbus, Ohio's Alex Watson picked up the USAC Midwest Thunder win.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features such as a new catch fence system along with a new front stretch wall, lighting system, transponder scoring, and corner runoff areas. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series. The Montpelier Motor Speedway serves as a host for USAC National Sprint Cars, USAC Indiana Midget Week, MSCS Sprint Cars, NRA Sprint Invaders, and BOSS Sprint Cars.
