The BCRA Midgets will return to MRP headlining the open wheel portion of the show Saturday. BCRA is the oldest nationally recognized sanctioning body in the United States. It was first formed in 1939. BCRA will bring a number of stars that have competed in such stellar national midget classics as the Chili Bowl, the Turkey Night Grand Prix and the Belleville Nationals. 3-time national USAC Champion and National Sprint Car Hall of fame inductee Jimmy Sills “The Professor” will strap into a midget for the first time at MRP in a decade against a stellar cast of traveling professional open wheel stars. BCRA champions Nick Foster (BCRA’s most recent feature winner) and Matt Streeter will be in the house as well. Expected entries include a number of past champions and race winners including Scott Nail, the BCRA season opening race winner Scott Pierovich, Rick Haugh and Bill Lindsey.
