USAC Indiana Midget Week kicks off June 9 across six tracks
The 22nd annual USAC Indiana Midget Week runs June 9–14, a six-night midget car series across six Indiana tracks that is part of the USAC Midget National Championship. It opens June 9 at Circle City Raceway in Indianapolis, then moves to Paragon on June 10, Lincoln Park in Putnamville on June 11, Bloomington Speedway on June 12, Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt on June 13 and concludes at Kokomo Speedway on June 14. The Paragon program on June 10 will mark the 100th Indiana Midget Week feature in the series’ history. The weeklong championship awards $15,000 to the Indiana Midget Week champion. The condensed, high‑intensity schedule and variety of tracks emphasize stamina and mechanical reliability as much as outright speed, and the format can strain team logistics and driver workload. Sprint cars will serve as the nightly support class, and many competitors are expected to attempt double duty between midget and sprint machines. Several established names and emerging talents figure to shape the six‑night chase. Defending champion Kale Drake returns to defend his title in the RMS Racing No. 4, and Cannon McIntosh will rejoin the Keith Kunz/Curb‑Agajanian No. 71K entry for all six nights. Jacob Denney leads the USAC National Midget standings with 150 points, followed by Kevin Thomas Jr. (149) and Justin Grant (147). Denney was the only multi‑time Indiana Midget Week winner in 2025 and most recently won at Kokomo in April. Preview lists also cite veterans and rising drivers, including Jakeb Boxell, Zach Wigal and Gavin Miller, as potential contenders for individual nights.
