Bloomington Indiana Midget Week race falls to rain
By Richie Murray, USAC Media (Bloomington, IN) -- Down came the rain and washed the racing out. That was the story from the Bloomington Speedway round of Indiana Midget Week Friday night.
Twelve of the 28 USAC P1 Insurance National Midget drivers on hand made a qualifying attempt with Tanner Thorson setting the top mark of 11.568 seconds on the quarter-mile dirt oval. Holly Shelton was the qualifier on the track when the precipitation hit hard and rained out the remainder of the night's racing events.
Bloomington Speedway and USAC track officials are working on a possible makeup date.
The 14th edition of Indiana Midget Week continues this Saturday night, June 2 at Lawrenceburg Speedway before concluding Sunday, June 3 at Kokomo Speedway. Both races will be live via pay-per-view stream on http://www.SpeedShiftTV.com/. You can also catch live audio of both races live for free on the USAC app.
