Midwest Factory Finishes Race Of Champions update:

With the final qualifying weekend at Earlville, Iowa in the books, the qualifying field is now set. Initially, there were 22 possible spots open for the 16 car qualified field. With some events being lost to the pandemic last season and a few rained out days, we ended up with 17 drivers to qualify for the 16 car field. The qualified drivers are:
Jason DeForest
Brian Grosz
Kevin Leinart
Larry Henderson
Jamis Jurgens
Tanner Wiese
Logan Wernet
Mike Mans
Jamie Picht
John McLaughlin
Alex Wiese
Matt Steen
Johnny Diekema
Tom Lewis
Glen Demenge
Brett Speer
Matt Lund

Starting next week, we'll be contacting each driver individually and getting their commitments to be at the race. In the event that some may not be able to attend, we're putting the names of the event runner ups into a hat and will draw for alternates. At the event, we'll have the alternate names in play should one of the 16 that qualify be unable to make the call for the first round.

Congratulation to everyone that earned a spot to qualify for this unique event!
