The preliminary night driver rosters for the Driven2SaveLives BC39 have been revealed for the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship event Sept. 27-30 at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
With the new split-field format in place for the fifth running of the event, the 71 cars entered thus far have been separated into two nights of competition Thursday, Sept. 28, and Friday, Sept. 29.
Each car can only compete one night, with 36 assigned to Thursday’s event and 35 assigned to Friday’s event with a possibility of a few more entries to be filed.
Both preliminary night events Thursday and Friday will present full racing programs consisting of practice, heat races and qualifying races, the points of which will seed the lineups for that night’s C-Main (if needed), semi-feature and 30-lap feature event.
The top-three feature finishers from each preliminary night will be locked into the 39-lap, $20,039-to-win main event Saturday night, Sept. 30. All other finishers will seed the E-, D-, C- and B-Main lineups for Saturday night’s program based on their prelim night finishing position.
All cars will be on track for practice on the opening night of the event, Wednesday, Sept. 27. The Stoops Pursuit race on Wednesday night is a 25-lap race split into five-lap segments. The field consists of a total of 24 starters. The top-10 drivers in USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship points are locked into the event as are the 10 fastest during Wednesday night’s practice already locked in. Up to four promoter’s options will be available to start the event.
The event 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.
