"Plymouth up next for Badger Midgets on Saturday 12th" “McDermand points leader & half way to AFS Challenge”
Plymouth Sept. 9—Two events remain in year number 84 of the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association. For just the twelfth time in seventy years, Badger visits the Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds.
Eight different drivers have claimed a feature victory in the eleven previous races at the facility for Badger dating back to 1950. The current track replaced the 1/2-mile oval. Jack Routson won the most recent race at Plymouth on June 8, 2019, leading the final three laps.
McDermand holds a 22-point lead over Nick Baran heading into the Advance Fastening Supply (AFS) Challenge, at the Plymouth Dirt Track. A $1,500 bonus awaits McDermand, because of his victory at Sycamore, and if he can win this weekends event at the Plymouth (Wis.) Dirt Track. If McDermand fails to win the event, all drivers competing at both events will split the bonus equally.
Joining Badger on the night's race events will be the PDTR / MSA Sprint Car Series, Grand Nationals (Championship Night), and B Modifieds (Championship Night).
Pit gates open at 3:00 pm, grandstands at 4:30 pm with opening ceremonies at 6:00 pm. PDTR is requesting that face masks are worn if possible and you practice social distancing. We hope you will do your part to keep everyone around you safe!
