SPEEDWAY, Ind. (July 29, 2022) — The driver lineup for the Driven2SaveLives BC39 Presented by WeatherTech has exploded to 85 entries!
Headlining the list is defending BC39 winner and reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson who’ll attempt to become the first multi-time winner of the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship event on August 3-4 at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Larson (Elk Grove, Calif.) is one of five entries from the CB Industries shop who are entered for the BC39 along with USAC Triple Crown champion Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.), top series Rookie Mitchel Moles (Raisin City, Calif.) and fellow first year full-timers Jade Avedisian (Clovis, Calif.) and Jace Park (Overland Park, Kan.).
Dave Mac Dalby Motorsports has entered its fleet of cars and drivers, which includes two-time NASCAR Cup Series winner and two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series titlist Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Olive Branch, Miss.) and Cannon McIntosh (Bixby, Okla.), a recent $22,000 winner at the Huset’s Speedway USAC Nationals in South Dakota.
The event field consists of drivers hailing from all corners of the United States, including North Dakota, Texas, California and Pennsylvania. Among the Pennsylvania contingent now entered for the event is USAC National Midget feature winner Steve Buckwalter in the family-owned No. 25.
They’ll all be joined by the likes of inaugural BC39 winner Brady Bacon (Broken Arrow, Okla.), USAC Triple Crown champions J.J. Yeley (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Jerry Coons Jr. (Tucson, Ariz.), along with fellow USAC national champions Tyler Courtney (Indianapolis, Ind.), Justin Grant (Ione, Calif.), Buddy Kofoid (Penngrove, Calif.), C.J. Leary (Greenfield, Ind.) and Logan Seavey (Sutter, Calif.), Russ Gamester (Peru, Ind.), plus Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman (South Bend, Ind.), 10-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car titlist Donny Schatz (Fargo, N.D.), NASCAR Cup Series winner Chase Briscoe (Mitchell, Ind.) and NASCAR Truck Series champion Sheldon Creed (Alpine, Calif.), nine-time New Zealand Midget champion Michael Pickens (Auckland, N.Z.), along with many, many more.
The BC39 officially gets underway on Tuesday, August 2 with team parking at Noon Eastern followed by the heat race position draft from 6-9pm Eastern on Main Street in Speedway, an event which is open to the public. There, all cars entered will be randomized into a draft order for the heat race draft. Teams will be able to pick their heat race spot, either in person with a representative, or remotely through USAC officials. Any unrepresented team will be given the first available spot.
On track action begins Wednesday, August 3, beginning with the drivers meeting in the IMS Media Room at 2pm Eastern. Public gates open at 3pm with cars hitting the track for practice at 4pm, followed by opening ceremonies at 7pm. Heat races and the incredibly exciting Stoops Pursuit feature race will conclude the night’s racing action.
The finale, on Thursday, August 4, will have the public gates opening at 3pm and cars on track for practice at 4pm, with qualifying races to follow at 5pm. Opening ceremonies are slated for 7:30pm and immediately followed by the main feature events, the semi-feature and the 39-lap main event.
