The stock car guys are back.
It’s no secret that midget racing truly has no off-season when its all said in done, running the year out all the way through November and ramping it back up in the middle of January for the biggest show of the year – and for this weekend, it’ll bring in some big names for the regulars to go up against.
The past two NASCAR Cup Series champions in Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott will join the USAC Midget tour for three nights of racing at Placerville Speedway starting on Thursday.
Larson will be racing his signature No. 1K midget while Elliott’s car will hold the No. 9E as part of Kyle Larson Racing.
But the NASCAR turned dirt teammates won’t be the only names racing at Placerville.
World of Outlaws star Carson Macedo hopped into a Tarlton car. Cory Eliason came with the Rudeen Racing 26.
And, on top of it all, we’re being treated to a heated championship battle between Keith Kunz Motorsports young gun Buddy Kofoid and the defending series champ Chris Windom.
The pair of drivers are separated by just two spots on the race track with six races to go in the 2021 season.
Three of those will be decided over the next three nights, live on FloRacing. The full Hangtown 100 entry list can be found below.
2021 USAC Midget Top 5 Points
1. Buddy Kofoid – 2202
2. Chris Windom – 2198
3. Tanner Thorson – 2010
4. Justin Grant – 1996
5. Emerson Axsom -1991
6. Daison Pursley* – 1893
* – Daison Pursley remains sixth in the points standings despite not racing on Tuesday evening due to an injury he suffered to his spine in the race before. Our thoughts remain with Daison and his family.
