Looks like dirt open wheel fans attending the USAC National Midget and All Star Circuit of Champion's show at the Dirt Oval Route 66 near Joliet, Illinois will get to see Yung Muny, aka Kyle Larson do double duty in both divisions Saturday night June 29th!
Hope this event is a hit and becomes an annual companion even to the NASCAR weekend at nearby Chicagoland Speedway.
Here's a press release regarding the event and Larson's participation:
KYLE LARSON’S BACK IN A USAC MIDGET SATURDAY IN JOLIET
