KUTZTOWN, Pa. —  The USAC National Midget Series will roll into Action Track USA for round two of Eastern Midget Week Wednesday night. It is the third straight year, the series will visit the 1/5-mile dirt oval.
Heavy hitters like Tanner Thorson, Chris Windom, Logan Seavey, Justin Grant, Cannon McIntosh and Buddy Kofoid are just a few of the names expected to compete.
Thorson owns the one-lap USAC National Midget record at the track with a lap of 11.146, set in 2020. The 2016 series champion has finished inside the top-four in both of his starts at the track with a fourth in 2019 and a second in 2020.
Windom was the hardest charger in the field in 2019, blitzing through the tight confines from his 12th starting position to finish third. He was involved in a tangle near the halfway point in 2020 and finished 13th.
Seavey led the first seven laps of the inaugural series feature in 2019 where the 2018 USAC National Midget champion finished sixth.
Grant, a USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car winner in the state of Pennsylvania in June, finished fourth in his Action Track midget run in 2020.
McIntosh picked up a total of 13 positions in the feature alone during the 2020 event, finishing fifth after starting 18th, the single biggest mover over the past two seasons of USAC Midget racing at the track.
Current series point leader and 2021 Indiana Midget Week champion Kofoid took a seventh place result in 2020 while Daison Pursley grabbed a 10th after earlier setting the track’s 10-lap track record of 1:58.01 during a winning semi-feature performance.
Recently-crowned Indiana Sprint Week champion Kevin Thomas Jr. finished ninth in the Eastern Midget Week round at Action Track USA in 2019. Thomas’ Petry Motorsports teammate Emerson Axsom, a two-time series winner in 2021, was 16th at Action Track USA in 2020.
First-time Action Track USA visitors include two-time 2021 USAC National Midget winner Thomas Meseraull and three-time USAC National Midget feature winner Zach Daum in a Bundy Built Motorsports team car to Ethan Mitchell.
