Badger Midget Auto Racing Association Announces 2025 Hall of Fame Class
The Badger Midget Series is proud to announce their second class of inductees into the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association Hall of Fame. Eight men will have their names added to the Badger Hall of Fame trophy that winters at the Southeastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame, within the Wisconsin Auto Museum in Hartford, WI.
The 2025 inductees are:
Bud Doty
Kevin Doty
Hilbert Ermer
Father Dale Grubba
Scott Hatton
Bill Horstmeyer
Dwight Huston
Walter Whitehorse
The process included the BMARA Hall of Fame Committee considering, debating and reviewing the careers, within Badger, of 21 candidates submitted by the committee members. Those 21 names were pared down to 11 that were submitted to the BMARA Board of Directors who made the selection of eight who would be inducted.
Plans are still being finalized for the 2025 Hall of Fame Banquet. Look for that information in the coming weeks.
The BMARA is still trying to reach a family member of Bill Horstmeyer. If someone has a concrete contact person and phone number or email please let Bill Blumer Jr. know via the Badger Facebook page.
