PERU, IN. - Miami County Speedway (Pictured Left) will be the place for fast racing on Thursday night, as the track welcomes back the Miami County Fair Race.  This is a special race in many ways. First, Noblesville, IN. native and current USAC National Mopar Midget Series points leader "The Bullet" Bryan Clauson will be racing a micro sprint on Thursday night.  Thursday's race will welcome Miami County fair goers and will feature the full program of micro sprint racing action.   Here is a rundown of the racing action on Thursday night.

First up is the Junior Class. The Junior Class is the smallest class run at MCS, but they are really fun to watch. Kayeleb Bolton (Pictured Right) is politing his #X purple junior sprint. MCS racers start in the Junior Sprint Class then work their way up to the Nonwing or Wing Class.

The picture to the left is one of #20 Chris Miller, as he races the Nonwing Class during a previous night of racing. Miller races only in the Nonwing Class at MCS. Peru, IN. racer Brandon Rose also races only in the Nonwing Class.  You often have drivers who race both the Nonwing and Wing Classes, using the same car. Some of the many racers who race both the Wing and Nonwing Classes are #19 Ben Taylor, #52 Stephanie Mockler, and #88 Travis Ray.

Tyler Courtney (Pictured Right #23) is a very talented, upcoming racer at MCS. In this picture, he is racing in the Wing Class. He also races in the Nonwing Class at MCS. The Senior Class is often run at MCS, when the full race program is run. The black #85 Senior Class micro sprint of Gary Miller (Pictured Upper Left) is among the many Senior Class racers that put on a great show for the MCS fans.

The final class of racing at MCS is the Restrictor Class feature. Warsaw, IN. racer #29H Braxton Hanft is among the many talented Restrictor Class racers at MCS.  Hanft is pictured left, racing his #29H Restrictor Class micro sprint, in a race earlier this season.

The Miami County Fair Race on Thursday will be a very special race, so don't miss it! The race event is sponsored by Wooten Power. Admission is only $5.00 for adults and children 12 years and under get in for free. Hot laps are scheduled to start at 6:00 PM with action-packed micro sprint racing following at 7:00 PM.  I will be there, will you?
