Millstadt, IL – Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, NE will be home to the 3rd Annual Cornhusker Midget Challenge hosted by the O’Reilly POWRi (Performance Open Wheel Racing, Inc) midget series as well as USAC and SMRS sanctioning bodies. The three midget organizations have come together to sanction the 3/8-mile dirt oval as a prelude to the Belleville Midget Nationals.
The first night of racing will be on Monday July 23, which will include qualifying, heats, semis and a 25 lap A-main. The top four competitors from Mondays A-main will be locked into the Tuesday July 24th A-Main. The balance of the field will start again on Tuesday with qualifying, heats, semis and finish with a 40 lap A-main.
“We are looking forward to having the top midget teams in the country compete at Junction Motor Speedway,” said Delmar Friesen, promoter of Junction Motor Speedway. “To have the opportunity to have POWRi champ Brad Kuhn, USAC Champ Jerry Coons Jr., and SMRS champ Brady Bacon who was last years JMS winner driving for Kasey Kahne as well as the Tony Stewart team competing all at one place will be phenomenal for our fans,” continued Friesen.
Following the races on Monday July 24th and Tuesday July 25th at JMS the race teams will head to 81 Speedway in Wichita, KS on Wednesday July 25th where USAC will host the O’Reilly POWRi and SMRS midget teams before taking Thursday off to regroup for the Belleville Midget Nationals.
