AFS Badger Midget Series Tire Policy Announced

Sun Prairie, WI - April 29, 2022 - The AFS Badger Midget Series has announced a new policy to control tire costs and limit consumption. The new policy will continue to be assessed on a monthly basis as the season progresses.

“Tire availability is extremely limited at this time,” stated AFS Badger Midget Series President Quinn McCabe, “We must do something to limit tire consumption for our competitors.”

AFS Badger Midget Series competitors will be allowed to run any Hoosier tire compound for the month of May. Competitors will be allowed to purchase one new Hoosier right rear tire per event with tires available from the AFS Badger Midget Series at the track. Right rear tires will be stamped when cars are presented for qualifying. Teams will be required to run this stamped tire in the main event that evening. In the event any stamped tire becomes damaged or punctured during the night, teams will be allowed to petition officials for a replacement. If the tire is replaced, the competitor will be forced to start at the rear of the main event.

McCabe also stated, “We value every AFS Badger Midget Series competitor and we greatly appreciate everyone's understanding of the situation. We look forward to the start of our season in May.”

The AFS Badger Midget Series season opens on Saturday, May 7 at the Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, IL.
