High Expectations for Mike Christopher Jr. and this Year’s Indoor Auto Racing Championship
Talented young driver Mike Christopher Jr. returns to Indoor TQ Midget competition this weekend as 2022 Indoor Champion, Scott Kreutter’s teammate with high expectations. The series championship trophy is named after Christopher’s late uncle, multi-time winner and series champion Ted Christopher, so he’d like to have a ‘TC Cup’ one day. In his Indoor TQ Midget debut last year in Allentown, Christopher never got the experience he needed. Mechanical failures wouldn’t allow the car to get up to speed all weekend. This...

Read the Track and Race to the Front… On the Outside
The Indoor racing surface was a story last season. Changes made after Friday night’s feature in Allentown made the outside groove on the flat concrete surfaces much more competitive. In the races that followed in Atlantic City and Syracuse, the race leader began to choose the outside lane on restarts because it had so much tack. Drivers like Anthony Sesely and Briggs Danner were among those that used the outside to make many of their passes. Track prep director Davey Sammons is...

Erick Rudolph – Back to his Winning Ways
Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, N.Y., is the all-time leading TQ Midget Indoor series winner with nine victories. In three feature starts last year, however, Rudolph failed to win a race in Mark Laffler’s No. 22. It wasn’t a lack of speed nor talent, but luck. In a position to win both, in Atlantic City and at the 2022 series finale in Syracuse, N.Y., Rudolph’s good luck that had followed him for so many years left him, and he got spun around...

ALLENTOWN, PA -- Scott Kreutter of Cowlesville, N.Y., and car owner Trey Hoddick won their first-ever series championship last year – and they scored the championship without claiming a single race win. Kreutter has just one series win to his credit, and it came at Allentown on January 6, 2018. Can they end the five-year winless drought this weekend and get a jump start on defending their championship? They think so, but only time will tell. When the Indoor Auto Racing Series fueled...

Keep Your Eyes on Tommy Catalano
Tommy Catalano With Indoor Win in his Sights Tommy Catalano comes to Allentown from Ontario, N.Y. loaded for bear.

In the hunt for his first series win, he ended the year with a...
