Gateway - If they were to replace the midgets with another class.

I saw, they are opening up the entry to a few more late model drivers and supposedly they will release that late model entry list in a few weeks.



The Modifieds are being invited 10 drivers at a time. They just posted the 3rd round of invites.

The 30 Mod drivers invited so far are:
Austin Holcombe
Chase Allen
Derek Losh
KC Burdette
Kyle Steffens
Lucas Lee
Mike Harrison
Ricky Thornton Jr.
Trevor Anderson
Tyler Peterson
Austen Becerra
Chad Bauer
Chase Holland
Dean Hoffman
Jeff Larson
Jordan Dresch
Michael Ledford
Mike McKinney
Peyton Taylor
Chad Sellers
Drake Troutman
Ethan Dotson
Jack Sartain
Josh Lemke
Kenny Wallace
Tim Nash
Todd Sherman
Trent Young
Tyler Droste


Still see a lot of people here and there advocating for a 3rd class like Street Stocks, Micro's, or some other class to replace the midgets. I can't say that would be good or bad as I've seen a ton of good street stock races over the years and the Micro's are decent on smaller tracks. If They don't add a 3rd class, should they just open up the Modified invites from 40 to 60?

There are always a bunch of late model drivers that sign up that don’t show up

I personally believe they should have left the midgets for another year but opened up the entry like the late models and not did invitations.

With talking to other race fans in the sprint car community I have to agree with them that they could have gotten a good field of cars last year if they would have opened it up and not focused on inviting the elite drivers that were focusing on chili bowl and etc.

It might have been another flop as far as the car count, but I think it would have been worth a shot.
