INDIANAPOLIS — For the first time in the young history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Dirt Track, USAC Sprint Cars will join the midgets for the Driven2SaveLives BC39 on Sept. 26.
Since the race's inception in 2018, it has traditionally only seen USAC midget cars sling dirt around the quarter-mile dirt oval located inside of Turn 3 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. However, IMS announced Friday, Sept. 13 that the inaugural Stoops Sprint Car Invitational will feature USAC Sprint Cars on Thursday, Sept. 26.
The race is an invitation-only, non-points event that will see two heat races set the lineup for the 20-lap feature.
“USAC Midgets have put on an incredible show at IMS since 2018, so we expect wheel-to-wheel action from Sprint Cars on The Dirt Track,” IMS President Doug Boles said. “The Stoops Sprint Car Invitational is another must-see dirt event at IMS, as this division features great racing with some of the biggest stars of USAC.”
The invitations to compete were sent to the top 10 teams in the 2024 USAC Sprint Car National Championship tour. IMS says, so far, they have confirmed Logan Seavey, Daison Pursley, C.J. Leary, Kevin Thomas Jr., Mitchel Moles, Kyle Cummins, Robert Ballou and Kale Drake as participants in the Stoops Sprint Car Invitational.
The BC39's main event is still a USAC Midget race, and its 39-lap main event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 28.
