Electric Cars

As the racing world gears up for one of its most anticipated events, the 21st edition of USAC Indiana Midget Week promises an exhilarating spectacle. From June 3 to June 8, fans can expect six adrenaline-pumping nights at iconic racetracks across Indiana. With a prize pool of $15,000 for the champion and double-duty action featuring sprint cars, this event is not just about speed—it's about strategy, endurance, and raw talent.

Redefining Racing Excellence with Every Lap

For motorsport enthusiasts, the countdown has begun. This year’s USAC Indiana Midget Week is set to deliver unforgettable moments that will resonate long after the final checkered flag falls.

Pioneering Performances in the Heartland

The excitement begins at Circle City Raceway in Indianapolis on Tuesday, June 3. As the week progresses, Paragon Speedway welcomes the series for the first time since 2021. Following this, Honest Abe Roofing Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville takes center stage. Bloomington Speedway, Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, and Kokomo Speedway round out the thrilling schedule. Each venue brings its own unique challenges, ensuring competitors are tested physically, mentally, and mechanically.Historically, only four drivers have entered as the USAC National point leader and claimed the Indiana Midget Week crown: Jerry Coons Jr., Darren Hagen, Rico Abreu, and Buddy Kofoid. If Justin Grant continues his stellar performance from victories at Kokomo and Belleville, he could join this elite group. Moreover, all previous winners of both the IMW and USAC National Midget championships have gone on to achieve greatness later in the same season. The stakes couldn't be higher for contenders like Cannon McIntosh, Kale Drake, Logan Seavey, and Jacob Denney, who trail closely behind Grant.

Emerging Talents Ready to Shine

Indiana Midget Week has always been a platform for breakthrough performances. Over the past two decades, 14 drivers achieved their first-ever USAC National Midget feature win during this prestigious event. Notable names include Johnny Rodriguez, Shane Cottle, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Tanner Thorson, Spencer Bayston, Tyler Courtney, Chris Windom, and Corey Day. Last year saw no new victors, but 2025 looks promising with Steven Snyder Jr., Gunnar Setser, and Karter Sarff among the potential breakout stars.Additionally, Drake Edwards, Kyle Jones, Hayden Reinbold, and Ethan Mitchell have demonstrated impressive consistency throughout the season. These drivers could surprise everyone by securing their maiden victory under the bright lights of IMW. For fans eager to witness the next generation of champions, this week offers countless opportunities to see history unfold.

Australian Invaders Making Waves

Adding an international flavor to the competition are four talented drivers hailing from Western Australia. Tom Payet and Jake Robinson will drive LynK Australia entries built by Keith Kunz Motorsports, while Kaiden Manders and Daniel Harding compete in Dan Golding Racing machines. Although Australian drivers haven't yet won a USAC National Midget feature, Adam Clarke came tantalizingly close with a second-place finish at Eldora Speedway in 2006. Michael Pickens remains the sole non-American driver to triumph in IMW history, achieving this feat three times. With global talent converging on Indiana, there's no telling what surprises await. Fans should keep a keen eye on these Aussies as they aim to make their mark on American soil.
