USAC Benevolent Fund Kart Race Set for May 7
Speedway, Indiana (April 23, 2019)………An annual racing tradition is on tap Tuesday, May 7, at Speedway Indoor Karting as racers are set to do battle on the 14-turn, multi-level, indoor road course track for the USAC Benevolent Fund 3-Hour ProAm Karting race.
With challenging corners and fast straightaways, several of the top USAC competitors will take part in the event. This year’s team captains thus far include USAC winners Kevin Thomas, Jr., Bobby Santos, Aaron Pierce, Justin Marvel, and Midget racing veteran Chase Barber.
