By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Terre Haute, Indiana (May 18, 2022)………Mitchel Moles will make his USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship debut this Friday and Saturday night, May 20-21, at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track in the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports number 19AZ.

The Raisin City, Calif. native currently resides 3rd in the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship standings and has been a force with the series as a Rookie campaigner this season.

Moles takes on his new role in the Reinbold-Underwood sprinter following the departure of driver Tanner Thorson earlier this week, who opted to explore other opportunities.  Thorson captured five victories for the team in 2021 while C.J. Leary scored twice in their USAC National Sprint Car championship season in 2019.

This weekend marks Moles’ first visit to the famed half-mile dirt track at Terre Haute, which begins Friday with the 12th running of the $5,000-to-win Don Smith Classic and closes with Saturday’s 52nd annual $10,000-to-win Tony Hulman Classic.

On Friday, the pits open at 3pm Eastern, front gates at 4pm, drivers meeting at 6pm and hot laps at 6:30pm with qualifying and racing immediately following.  UMP Modifieds will also be in action.  A concert by country music recording artist Jake Dodds will follow Friday’s racing festivities.

On Saturday, the pits open at 3pm Eastern, front gates at 3pm, drivers meeting at 6pm and hot laps at 6:30pm with qualifying and racing immediately following.  RaceSaver 305 Sprint Cars will also be on the event card.
