It's a double dose of Midwest Thunder as two of the region's premier open-wheel series invade Montpelier Speedway for one incredible night! The Midwest Thunder Sprint Car Series brings their high-flying, wing-equipped warriors ready to battle at breakneck speeds, while the USAC Midwest Thunder Midgets add their own brand of fearless, white-knuckle racing in those nimble little rockets that pack massive thrills. This is open-wheel racing at its finest—two divisions of specialized drivers and purpose-built machines that will have you mesmerized from green to checkered. The hard-charging UMP Modifieds join the card to add their trademark intensity, while the always-exciting Hornets prove once again that heart and determination can steal the show.
