MORE ENTRIES, ADVANCE TICKETS & UPDATES for Texas Motor Speedway Midget Championship March 20-21!
Ft. Worth TX, by DarinShort.com (3/6/26). Just two weeks from today, the Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) Dirt Track will light up for the first time ever to host the POWRi National Series and West Region Midget League with the running of the Texas Motor Speedway Midget Nationals, held Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st.
Advance online ticket sales are available by clicking https://www.powri.com/schedule/?i=31369 and there you can select which night(s) you would like to purchase advance tickets, or pit passes for. Just scroll down the schedule list and click on the tickets icon for the TMS event. You can also choose to purchase your event tickets upon arrival at the speedway on race night.
In what will certainly become another marquee event on both the track and series schedules, the TMS Midget Championship will be two complete point events, with the opening nights winner collecting $3,000, while the finale night top dog will take home a cool $5,000. That in itself is attracting the top midgeteers in the business from coast to coast.
Since last week’s update, a pair of Arizona drivers (Brody Wake, Drake Edwards), a Mississippi driver (Chase Howard) and another Oklahoma driver (Ryan Padgett) have joined the list of Midget drivers that plan to compete in this event.
Drivers can get registered by emailing Talin at [email protected]
The stars and cars of the POWRi National and POWRi West will converge upon TMS as well as many national ‘invaders’ - as there are very few other midget and non-winged events scheduled nationally this particular weekend. Paired with the fact that very few of these drivers have yet to compete on the recently upgraded and converted Lil’ TMS dirt track, it will make for even more added drama.
Including the new entries, now 12 states are currently represented in the list of expected drivers, including Jacob Denney, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Colton Robinson, Karter Sarff, Chase McDermand, Brandon Carr, Zach Daum, Alex Karpowicz, Trey Marcham, Andrew Felker, Alex Sewell, Kris Carroll, Pierce Urbanosky, Ray Brewer, Branigan Roark, Zane Lawrence, Shaun Shapel, Drew Sherman, Mack Leopard, Caiden Warren, Brecken Reese, Cooper Miller, Kale Drake, Brylee Miller, Kyle Jones, Tyler Edwards and Thomas Meseraull. A large group of raucous and hungry invaders will join the fray. More driver entries will be announced as registrations continue to arrive at POWRi headquarters.
Plus, the combined Factory Fourteen National Series and Gulf South Region Open Wheel 600's will be competing in two complete, nightly point events, which include the Non-Wing Micro, A-Class Micro, Restricted Micro and Jr. Sprint divisions.
The current weather trend, if it holds together, shows a generally dry period on race week and temps around 80°, which would make for stellar racing and viewing. We’ll keep an eye on that aspect as race week draws nearer.
Friday nights action kicks off with hot laps at 6:30pm, with racing to follow immediately. Saturday’s finale starts with hot laps at 6:00pm. There is also a practice night scheduled for Thursday, March 19th.
Nightly Adult General Admission is $25, while Kid’s General Admission (ages 12 & Under) are $10/night. Pit passes for all ages are $45 nightly (March 19th practice $30).
