SPEEDWAY, Ind. — Current USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point leader Logan Seavey and top USAC Silver Crown Rookie Kaylee Bryson headline the latest batch of entries for the Driven2SaveLives BC39.

A steadily rising total of 30 cars and drivers are now set to compete in the fifth running of the event which features an extended four days of USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship racing on Sept. 27-30 at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The BC39 regularly presents the highest USAC car counts of the year. The 2022 event produced 85 entries, fifth most in the 68-year history of USAC national midget racing. 

The price for a team filing an entry for the BC39 increases to $150 on Friday, Sept. 8. The final cutoff for all BC39 entries is Monday, Sept. 25.

Seavey, who finished a best of fifth in his 2019 BC39, will wheel a car for Abacus Racing. Bryson scored a seventh-place result during the 2022 race, and this year will pilot a ride for CB Industries.

CBI has also filed entries for 2023 USAC National Midget feature winner Bryant Wiedeman, who finished 11th in the 2022 BC39. Brent Crews, a recent ARCA Stock Car winner at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, will make his BC39 debut with CBI.

Of the latest entries, Chase McDermand, who stands top-10 in USAC midget points, is entered following an 18th place run a year ago. Karter Sarff also makes his return behind the wheel of the family-owned ride after scoring 20th in the latest edition of the BC39 in 2022.

Already entered for this year’s running of the BC39 are USAC Triple Crown champion Jerry Coons, three-time USAC national midget winner Jacob Denney, 2023 series winner Zach Daum, USAC national feature winner Matt Westfall, 2022 series Rookie of the Year Mitchel Moles, plus two-time USAC national midget feature winner Daison Pursley.
