Format: For the past five days, a different group of drivers have taken to the track. The event is spread out over so many days due to the shear number of dirt midget entries for this year. Points have been totaled from each of those days to set each driver in their respective alphabet main for today’s finale.

Alpahbet Mains: The field goes as deep as an M feature. The opportunity was there for a driver to advance from an M feature all the way to the A feature. However, they would have had to do the impossible and come from the back of each feature in between to do so.

A Main lineup: A short three lap race was used to set the order of the front five rows. Justin Grant and Kyle Larson went to banging wheels in the Pole Shuffle. A late race pass from Grant put him ahead of Larson. Grant took the win.

The track has been completely reworked ahead of the main event. Drivers are set for a very fast surface in the opening laps. It will likely widen out after the first handful of laps.

Justin Grant and Kyle Larson lead the field to the green flag. 55 laps of dirt midget racing are up next…
