SPEEDWAY, Ind. – The first batch of Driven2SaveLives BC39 Presented by WeatherTech entries have arrived.
Thus far, 32 teams have filed their entries for the August 3-4 USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship event at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Ten USAC national championships are comprised from three of the those 32 entries, which include four-time champ and 2018 BC39 winner Brady Bacon as well as five-time USAC national titlist J.J. Yeley and single-time champion Justin Grant.
NASCAR Cup Series winner Chase Briscoe will make his return to the BC39 along with 2020 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Sheldon Creed, and Kokomo Speedway track record holder and motorsports commentator Dillon Welch.
USAC feature winners Kyle Cummins and Thomas Meseraull return to the BC39 fray while Bill Rose will make a rare midget start in his BC39 debut.
Over the coming days and weeks, the entries will continue to pour in from all over the country as a huge field will congregate toward the mecca of auto racing for the fourth-running of the BC39. Brady Bacon (2018), Zeb Wise (2019) and Kyle Larson (2021) have captured victories in the first three editions of the event.
The BC39 officially gets underway on Tuesday, August 2 with team parking at Noon Eastern followed by the heat race position draft. All cars entered will be randomized into a draft order for the heat race draft. Teams will be able to pick their heat race spot, either in person with a representative, or remotely through USAC officials. Any unrepresented team will be given the first available spot.
