Motorin' from the north to the south and back again, the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship is in a busy state of mind in July - four states in fact.

We'll have been everywhere, man.

After the festivities in South Dakota are all buttoned up, the traveling show gathers up and makes the nearly 10-hour trek to Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker, Oklahoma, for Tuesday Night Thunder, the fifth series visit to the 1/4-mile dirt oval.

Logan Seavey (Sutter, California) enters as the lone Red Dirt USAC Midget winner in Tuesday's field. 

He finished inside the top 2 in each of his first two Red Dirt starts. He led the final seven circuits to capture the 2019 race, which came one year after he led a race-high 13 laps and finished as the runner-up during his 2018 championship season. Most recently, he ran ninth in 2021.

Current championship point leader and defending series champ Buddy Kofoid (Penngrove, California) was fourth in his debut Red Dirt appearance in 2020 and sixth in 2021. He scored a feature win in the most recent USAC National Midget event in the Sooner State, winning at Port City Raceway in Tulsa in April.

Justin Grant (Ione, California) has raced to top-6 finishes in each of his two Red Dirt starts, tallying a runner-up result in 2021 to go along with a sixth on his resume in 2018. His second-place finish last year came after starting 13th, which made him the hard charger of the night. 

His two career victories in Oklahoma have him in a four-way tie atop the list as the winningest USAC National Midget driver in the state alongside Kofoid, Tanner Thorson and Bob Wente.

Jerry Coons Jr. (Tucson, Arizona) is the only driver to finish within the top 7 in all four of USAC's Red Dirt USAC Midget races run since 2018. The USAC Triple Crown champion took fourth in 2018, and again in 2019, after leading four laps late in the going. His best result there came in 2020, when he finished third. He followed that with a seventh-place finish in 2021.

Cannon McIntosh (Bixby, Oklahoma) made his first career USAC National Midget feature start at his home state Red Dirt Raceway in 2018, finishing 18th. He upped his performance in the following years with a best finish of seventh in 2020, even leading for one lap. His eight-lap time of 1:49.120 in a 2021 heat race is the track's all-time USAC Midget track record for the distance.

Three-time USAC National Midget winner Zach Daum will be in one of two Bundy Built Motorsports cars alongside teammate Ethan Mitchell. Daum (Pocahontas, Illinois) corralled a third-place result in 2021, while Mitchell (Mooresville, North Carolina) knocked out a 13th in 2020.

Jonathan Beason (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) has been the hard charger at Red Dirt twice (2019 and 2020), starting 17th and finishing fifth in 2019, then proceeded from 18th to eighth in 2020. He once again put it inside the top 10 in 2021 with an eighth-place result, while leading a single lap early.

Kaylee Bryson (Muskogee, Oklahoma) was the frontrunner for much of the early going in 2021, leading nine of the first 10 laps in a duel with Beason. Bryson found herself entangled with a lapped car late in the race, ending her bid for victory after the incident dropped her all the way back to the 18th position in the final rundown.

Bryant Wiedeman (Colby, Kansas) set fast qualifying time in the 2021 event but experienced a short-lived night after a flip on the first lap of the feature. 

He's among the returnees to the Red Dirt lineup, as are San Jose, California's Thomas Meseraull (12th in 2021), Lubbock, Texas' Brenham Crouch (15th in 2021), Bixby's Tanner Berryhill (20th in 2021), Kennedale, Texas' Kyle Jones (22nd in 2021) and Macdoel, California's Maria Cofer (23rd in 2018), while Hayden Reinbold (Gilbert, Arizona) aims for his first feature start at the track.

Red Dirt debuts come courtesy of USAC National Midget leading Rookie Mitchel Moles (Raisin City, California), Taylor Reimer (Bixby), Lincoln Park Speedway Indiana Midget Week winner Jacob Denney (Galloway, Ohio), Jace Park (Overland Park, Kan.), Badger Midget champ Chase McDermand (Springfield, Illinois), Jade Avedisian (Clovis, California), Chance Crum (Snohomish, Washington), Trey Marcham (Newcastle, Oklahoma), Anton Hernandez (Arlington, Texas), Corey Joyner (Concordia, Kan.) and more.
