SPEEDWAY, Ind. — The driver roster for the Sept. 26, inaugural Stoops Sprint Car Invitational at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been confirmed.
For the first time, USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars are coming to The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Stoops Sprint Car Invitational will take place on the fifth-mile dirt oval located inside turn three of the famed 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sept. 26, during the opening night of the Driven2SaveLives BC39 Presented By Avanti Windows & Doors.
Invitations to compete in the first of its kind event were presented to top-10 drivers and entrants on the current 2024 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship point standings.
Entries were accepted by Logan Seavey, Daison Pursley, C.J. Leary, Kevin Thomas Jr., Mitchel Moles, Robert Ballou, Kyle Cummins, Carson Garrett, Chase Stockon and Kale Drake.
The invitation-only non-points special event for USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars at IMS will feature two heat races followed by a 20-lap main event. Â
The Thursday night portion of the BC39 will feature both sprint cars as well as a full program for the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship.
Brady Bacon and Justin Grant were among the invitees. However, both politely declined invitations to compete in the sprint car exhibition. Both drivers will be competing in the midget portion of the BC39 throughout the weekend.Â
The BC39 will continue to honor the late USAC champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 starter, Bryan Clauson. Â It also will increase awareness of organ donation and encourage participation in the Indiana Donor Network Driven2SaveLives program, the title sponsor of the BC39 since the inaugural running in 2018.
