USAC Speed2 Midget racing takes to the track this weekend on three dirt ovals in the states of Indiana, Illinois and Vermont.

First up is Friday’s Midwest Thunder round at Gas City I-69 Speedway in Gas City, Ind. on June 14.  Two-time and defending series champion Aaron Leffel (Springfield, Ohio) is two-for-two in MTM action this season, scoring rounds at both Gas City and Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway during the month of May.  He leads the standings by 30 markers entering round three of the season.

Spoon River Speedway in Canton, Ill. is back on the plate for the Engler IMRA Midgets for the fourth time this year this Saturday night, June 15.  Andy Baugh, of Mason City, Ill. has been the man to beat, winning all three Spoon River meets in 2019, including last Saturday’s race.  He’s the defending series champ and leads the standings by just seven ahead of the consistent Tyler Roth (Springfield, Ill.), who’s been the only other driver to defeat Baugh this year, which he did two weeks ago at Macon (Ill.) Speedway.

DMA’s home track of Bear Ridge Speedway in Bradford, Vermont hosts the series for the fourth occasion in 2019.  The highly-competitive series has seen parity with three different winners in the first three outings: Seth Carlson (Brimfield, Mass.), Will Hull (Plainfield, Vt.) and Adam Whitney (Warren, Vt.).  Hull leads the standings over Carlson by ten points coming in.
