Due to the heat, and lack of rain, the Mid-America crew had their work cut out for them prepping the track.  We did the final grade and watered on Tuesday, and then continued watering most of the day on Thursday and Friday.  The crew returned at 8:30 Saturday morning to start watering.  With temps in the 90's the crew took the required breaks during practice to ensure that the track was in great shape for the heats and main events and all of the rider feedback was extremely positive. 

L ast night also proved that our Focus on the Future series is paying off as  30% of the entries were in youth classes.  Don't forget that Mid-America also waives a riders first class entry fee in the 50cc and 65cc classes.  (more details below)  
With $500 up for grabs in the 65cc class, all of the riders also had their work cut out for them.  Sponsored by Tear It Up Racing, and Cycle Trucking the class paid $500 to the winning bike owner.  It was great to see both groups  step up and put up some money in order to put some money ba ck into the bike owners pockets to keep them coming back to the track.  We would like to congratulate Coy "The Crusher" Cummins for winning the 65cc bike class on 7/13.  It l ooks like Coy's father Matt Cummins  found a great setup as Coy lived up to his nickname and crushed the competition.  Be sure to follow Coy Cummins Racing on Facebook to keep up with his results.  
Our next event is this Saturday on July 20th, where Cycle Trucking and Tear it Up Racing are putting up $400 to the winning bike owner in the 50cc Chain Class, and $150 to the winning bike owner in the 50cc Shaft Class.  Please continue reading below for more information on this program.

August 2nd and 3rd is our AMA Vintage National Dirt Track National weekend.  Friday, August 2nd is vintage only, and Saturday, August 3rd in vintage and all of the Mid-America Classes.  Just like we did in 2018, we will be hosting a complimentary cookout immediately following the Friday night portion of the weekend.  

August 24th is our Quad Shootout with $1000 going to the winner of the Open Quad Class, and once again Tear It up racing is putting up $300 to win the Youth Quad Class.  We round out the month of August on the 31st, with a $100 bonus going to the winner of Vet 30+.

September starts off a little different for Mid-America in that we are hosting a triple-header of the Midwest Extreme Dirt Track National Series.  Friday, September 6th will see action on the oval, and then on Saturday the 7th, and Sunday the 8th the quads will take to the TT track.  Next on the schedule is Vintage Heavy Night on September 21st with $100 (per cylinder) going to the winner of the Vintage Heavy Class.  Our final event of the month will see the winner of the 250 Money class taking home $500 for their efforts on the 28th.

October is another unique month in that the Mid-America crew is promoting two nights of racing at Plymouth Speedway in Plymouth, IN on Saturday, October 12th and Sunday the 13th.  Both nights will feature the regular Mid-America classes and will also be the final two rounds of the 2019 AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Series.  October 19th is Vintage Light Night, with a $100 bonus being awarded to the winner of the Vintage Light Class.  The season ends the following week on October 26th with our 11th annual Halloween race.  The winner of the Open Bike class will receive $500 for their efforts.

Directions to Mid-America
I-Phone and Android users can search for Mid-America Speedway on Google Maps.  Due to the current construction in and around Indianapolis, this is the best way to get to the track.  If you don't have an I-Phone or Android device, Mid-America Speedway is located at the southeast  corner of Indianapolis at the Marion County Fairgrounds.  From 465, take exit 49 and go to the first light and turn left, continue approximately 3/4 of a mile, and go over the overpass.  Bear to the left at the base of the overpass, go past the main entrance to the stop sign, and turn left on Fisher road.  Go approximately 1/4 mile and enter through gate 5.

About Mid-America Speedway

Located inside Indianapolis' Marion County Fairgrounds, Mid-America Speedway is excited to be entering our 12th season in 2019.  Constructed in early 2008, and growing with each event, Mid-America is consistently in national headlines as the  Midwest's premier short track and renowned for the top pro riders that hone their skills on a regular basis.  Year over year promotion and  word of mouth have gotten the word out resulting in both spectator and rider attendance driving upward, up twenty five percent since 2010.
