Competitors in the Driven2SaveLives BC39 presented by Avanti Windows & Doors will participate in a three-night format at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sept. 26-28.
The competition to make the field for the event will be intense with only 24 starting spots available for the final night’s $20,039-to-win main event Saturday, Sept. 28 at the action-packed quarter-mile dirt oval inside Turn 3 of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The 39-lap feature race, part of the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship, honors late USAC champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 starter Bryan Clauson. In addition, it increases awareness of the Indiana Donor Network and its Driven2SaveLives campaign.
