Mid-Am Racing Series

The cars are based on a 108" metric stock frame, less costly suspension parts and a maximum of 358 cubic inch engine.

The death of Vercauteran in October 2005 led to the purchase of Mid-American by longtime employees Doug and Julie Strasburg.

[citation needed] When the Strasburgs took over Mid American in 2006, the series was struggling with car counts and tracks willing to host races.

[4][5] Teams were intrigued when series owner Dave Gruenberg revealed a 2017 schedule that would have them competing on consecutive days at a couple of very different venues.

[citation needed] On Thursday, May 25 a race was held on the 1 mile dirt oval of the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

In a show of versatility, less than 24 hours later on May 26, the VERY same drivers AND cars took to the track 21 miles to the west, for 40 laps of feature racing on the pavement at the fast 5/8-mile Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana.

[6] The series was sold by Gruenberg to former La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway flagman Greg Oliver in early February 2017.

[22] The race was often held as part of the Red, White, and Blue state championship event at Wisconsin International Raceway (WIR).
