What to Expect Thursday Night

After earning passing points during Wednesday's heat races, drivers will have another chance to earn points during qualifying races on Thursday. There will be six 10-lap qualifying races with the lineups (see below) based on Wednesday's heat race results. 

Following qualifying races, points from heat races and qualifying races will be combined to set the lineup for D, C, B and A-Mains. The top 16 in points will start straight up in the A-Main. The remainder of the field will be separated into D-Mains, a C-Main and a B-Main. 

That will all lead into the main event, the $15,000-to-win BC39.

Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan will also be on hand tonight to turn exhibition laps after weather canceled his plans last night. 

WEDNESDAY UPDATES

What to Expect Wednesday Night

Wednesday night's schedule features 10 heat races for the USAC Midgets and the Stoops Pursuit race to end the evening. 

Drivers will earn passing points in their heat race to set the lineup for Thursday's qualifying races.

Additionally, the winner of each heat race and the top points getter from each heat race will earn starting positions in Wednesday's Stoops Pursuit race.

The Stoops Pursuit will consist of 25 laps broken into five, five-lap segments. The name of the game is simple: don't get passed. If a driver gets passed or is involved in a caution during any of the segments, they are eliminated. The driver that crosses the finish line first in the final segment will be named the winner. 

Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan will also be here tonight turning exhibition laps in a Midget.
