The BC39 midget race celebrates the life and legacy of Bryan Clauson. Taking place on the dirt track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, June 30 and July 1, this race has become one of the biggest events on the racing calendar.
Featuring the stars of USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship, it’s two nights of intense wheel-to-wheel action you won’t want to miss.
The Prelude to the BC39 is a fundraising event for Dr. Chernoff’s Survivors of Violence Foundation and the American Racing Ministries.
Prime 47 is one of the premier steakhouses in Indianapolis. Located at 47 S. Pennsylvania Street, the Prelude event will have access to the entire restaurant.
The event is a street party, as Pennsylvania Street in front of Prime 47 will be shut down to have the concert stage, tables for dining, outdoor bars and food stations as well as race cars on display.
The inside of Prime 47 will serve as the location to stage the silent auction, as well as a VIP area.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities for the event can be purchased now at https://www.preludetothebc39.com/.
Additionally, FloRacing will live stream the event at https://flosports.link/usac2026.
