The USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship will headline the Kokomo Grand Prix at Kokomo Speedway in Indiana on April 24 or April 25, according to sources. The event is scheduled as the evening feature on the quarter-mile dirt oval; after this first reference the series is referred to as the USAC Midget National Championship.

Pits and grandstands will open at 3:00 p.m. ET, the drivers meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. ET, and cars will be on track at 6:00 p.m. ET. Qualifying will consist of two laps with the fastest lap counting, heat races will be 10 laps and include inversion procedures (one source specifies a top-six inversion), a 12-lap semi-feature is listed, and the main feature will be 30 laps limited to 24 starters.

Officials will enforce strict tire rules, including a stamped SP3 right-rear requirement for qualifying, heats and the feature, and driver radios will be mandatory on USAC frequency 464.5500. Race Director Kirk Spridgeon is listed as the event director. Entry fees are $30 for USAC members and $40 for non-members; USAC membership is required to score points and claim contingency awards. Standard adult admission is $30, kids 12 and under are free, and pit passes are $40. Live coverage will be available on FloRacing, with additional audio, updates and streams through the USAC app, Mixlr, Facebook, X and live timing apps. The feature winner will collect $5,000 and 70 points; sources disagree on the point label (one calls them “series points,” another calls them “national points”); a minimum payout of $300 is mentioned in only one source.
