For the Midgets, this will be their second visit of the season.

Bradley Fezard, of Bonnerdale, AR sits atop the point battle for the Lucas Oil POWRi Engler Machine & Tool Micro League. For the Micros, a strong contingent of travelers will be joined by plenty of locals that compete regular with Macon’s Micros By Bailey Chassis.
