Midgets Return To Montpelier Motor Speedway Saturday Night, September 7th For A Busy Month

September will be a busy month for the Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series as the speedway looks to host 3 Midget events during the month of September. Lynsey Liguori became the most recent MMS Midget winner at the August 17th event. Ligori’s win continued a streak that has yet to find a repeat winner in Montpelier Victory Lane during the 2013 season. Darren Hagen, Shane Hollinsworth, Billy Wease, Isaac Chapple, and Lynsey Liguori have won 2013 feature events. Shane Hollingsworth is the only repeat winner in the history of the series and after 12 total events over the past two seasons, the series have found 9 different winners in victory lane (including 2012 winners: Nick Speidel, Michael Koontz, Brandon Matus, and Critter Malone)

With three point’s events remaining, Billy Wease will enter the event as the point’s leader with Blake Edwards, Michael Koontz, and Stratton Briggs all within striking distance of leaving the event as the series point’s leader.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget Series 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 and has averaged 22+ Midgets per event. Tony Rose and American Racer racing tires are the presenting trophy sponsor for the series.

A great night of entertainment last night at Montpelier. The heat races for all divisions were some of the best we have seen all season. The midget feature was a good run for Parker Price-Miller. They certainly had his ride dialed in last night.

I am also impressed with the modified division as anytime I have been here they have put on a good show. Derek Losh brought home the win in an impressive drive in the modified division. The track prep was really good last night and they did just a little touch up at intermission to keep it racey for the features.

A really good midget track and I am so glad that the owners and drivers are supporting their efforts. A nice crowd on hand as well last night.

They will be running the midgets again this coming Saturday night along with the MTQRL midget series as well. Also the final night of midget racing at Montpelier will be on Saturday night September 28th. I would highly recommend a trip over to see some good midget shows.

Also, thanks to Lynsey Ligouri who had her Midget behind the grandstand area letting kids sit in it and sign the hood. I snapped a picture of my son behind the wheel smiling ear to ear. I've taken close to 10,000 racing photos this season, and the only 1 have hanging on my wall is that one my son behind the wheel.

Thanks again for the fan and driver/car owner support. We will host a Midget Doubleheader with our full Midgets and the MTQRL TQ Midgets. This should be a great show for only $12! We hope to see everyone there!
