BMARA Announces Formation of New Hall of Fame in ‘24
Sun Prairie, WI (March 15, 2024) - The Badger Midget Auto Racing Association has announced the formation of a new Badger Midget Series Hall of Fame to begin operation in ‘24. Initial and subsequent induction classes will be decided on by a nominating committee appointed by the BMARA Board of Directors.
“We have existed since 1936,” stated BMARA President Quinn McCabe, “and when Robbie Ray approached me about starting a new hall of fame I knew it was time.”
Ray, the 2017 BMARA Driver Champion and current board member became the driving force behind the Hall of Fame idea.
“I think it is important that we preserve our history,” stated Ray, “and we need to honor those who have helped make the BMARA such a prominent and successful organization.”
The initial class will have a mix of 20 inductees and will be made up of drivers, car owners, and associates of the BMARA who have significantly impacted its success since its inception in 1936.
“So many people have dedicated so much to our sport,” says Ray, “and making sure either they or their families know that it means something to us is important. I’m looking forward to celebrating with the inductees later in the year.”
The BMARA Hall of Fame will hold its first induction ceremony at the July 28 BMARA Reunion race held at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, WI. Inductions will be celebrated publicly to allow the fans to participate.
“The fans mean so much to our series,” stated Ray, “So, we want to give them the chance to celebrate with us. What better place than at the famous Angell Park Speedway.”
Complete details for the event will be released at a later date. Fans are encouraged to watch for more information on the hall of fame on the BMARA website at BMARA.com or on the series Facebook page “BMARA Racing.”
