(Lebanon, IN) Hebron Indiana’s Don Pettit will be dialing in his pavement midget racing skills during the pavement portion of the USSA Mel Kenyon Midget Series during the 2014 racing season. Pettit joined the USSA Midget series in 2013, after racing on the Midwest’s late model stock car short circuit.
Pettit will open his season along with the Mel Kenyon Midget Series on Saturday April 19 at the Ivy Tech Community College Indianapolis Speedrome and then rejoin the series at Anderson when it returns to the pavement on May 21.
Pettit will be piloting the number 45 Kenyon Midget owned by 3-K racing. His sponsor for the 2014 campaign is Race Parts Liquidators in Crown Point, IN.
Designed to be an affordable racing series, the Mel Kenyon Midget Series is for open wheel racers on a budget, drivers looking for open wheel racing experience and competitors whose goal is to have fun in a competitive series that keeps the travel reasonable. Bryan Clauson, Justin Allgaier, Dakota Armstrong, Bobby East, Chris Windom, Jacob Wilson and many more have raced Kenyon Midgets during their careers.
