— A new format expanded across four nights at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will welcome competitors to an fifth running of the Driven2SaveLives BC39 featuring the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship on Sept. 27-30. The 39-lap feature race honors late USAC champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 starter Bryan Clauson. Thursday and Friday night will both feature a full program of racing consisting of eight-lap heat races and 10-lap qualifying races, followed by a 10-lap C-main (if needed), a 12-lap semi-feature and a 30-lap feature race paying $5,000-to-win. The top-three feature finishers on each night’s prelim will be locked into Saturday’s feature. Prelim night finishers 4-17 will be slated for one of two semi-features on Saturday night. Prelim night feature finishers 18-22, plus finishers 7-15 in the semi-feature, will start in Saturday’s C-Main. Prelim night semi-feature finishers 16th on back will start in Saturday’s D-Main. All USAC National Midget licensed drivers and entrants will receive 50 appearance points during each night of their participation on Thursday and Friday. The 39-lap feature will have 22 starters, plus two USAC provisional starters (if applicable) and two IMS options.
