Texas-based Iron Dome-Moonshine Motorsports is bringing a pair of USAC Western driving champions in Ronnie Gardner and Brody Roa to compete in the 16^th edition of Indiana Midget Week June 16-21.

Iron Dome’s Kevin Ramey and Moonshine Motorsports’ Taylor Courtney, identical twin brother 2018 USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car and 2019 USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget driving champion Tyler Courtney, will have the two standouts throughout the entirety of the week, which consist of six races in a six-night span at five different racetracks in the Hoosier state.

Garden Grove, Calif. driver Roa will pilot the team’s No. 7m, a homebuilt creation affectionately known as “Dolly.”  This year will mark Roa’s first Indiana Midget Week appearance after annually making the trek east to compete in Indiana Sprint Week nearly every year since 2014.  Roa, who competed for the team at this year's Chili Bowl, possesses a 2009 USAC California Ford Focus Dirt Midget title, a 2016 USAC West Coast Sprint championship and, most recently, a 2019 champ with the USAC Southwest Sprint Cars.

Ronnie Gardner, originally from Riverside, Calif. but now residing in Brownsburg, Ind., will be competing in the team’s CS9 chassis, car number 7R.  Gardner drove for the same team at March's Shamrock Classic at the Southern Illinois Center in Du Quoin.  He's a five-time USAC Western States Midget champion and is the only driver to win that title in five consecutive years, which he did between 2013 and 2017.  His 23 career USAC Western States Midget feature wins rank 4^th all-time.

“(I’m) looking forward to coming back to Indiana,” Taylor Courtney stated in a Facebook post.  “It’s been at least seven years since I have participated in (Indiana) Midget Week.  (It’s the) first time fielding our own cars in these events as well.  I have high hopes and am excited to see people who I used to see every day/weekend.”

First up is the 3/8-mile of Paragon Speedway, located just a little less than an hour southwest of Indianapolis, which will make its debut on the Indiana Midget Week schedule by hosting its first USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget race since 1985 and its first USAC-sanctioned race of any kind since 1998.

Following the opener at Paragon, on Wednesday, June 17, the series travels northbound to the quarter-mile Gas City I-69 Speedway, whose origins with the IMW series date to the inaugural year in 2005.  Next, on Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19, Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville joins the IMW docket for the 11th straight year.

The three-eighths of a mile Lawrenceburg Speedway, which hosted the very first IMW event in 2005, serves as the penultimate race of the mini-series on Saturday, June 20.  The 2020 IMW finale at Kokomo Speedway comes to the quarter mile venue on Sunday, June 21, which first hosted USAC Midget racing in USAC’s inaugural season of 1956.

All six Indiana Midget Week events will also feature local sprint car racing as part of the racing festivities.  All nights of the IMW, along with all USAC National events in 2020, will be live on FloRacing.

Competitor entry for all of Indiana Midget Week is now open, including for Sprint Cars as well at https://usacracing.ticketspice.com/2020-midget-week-entry-for-competitors.  Fields at each venue will be capped at 48 USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and 45 Sprint Cars.
