This coming Tuesday night, July 9th, the USAC National Midget Tour will make their second annual appearance at Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker. Last years inaugural event saw 33 cars compete on the racey quarter-mile oval where the huge crowd saw Christopher Bell bring home the victory and give car owner Kieth Kunz his 100th USAC victory.
Tidbits was recovering from knee surgery at this time last year and wasn’t able to make it. You can bet that tidbits won’t worry about being at work at 4 AM the next morning and will be there.
The flyer tells ya what you need to know and below are complete results from last years inaugural event.
