BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (June 12, 2026) – Past USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series champion Logan Seavey wasn’t even planning on taking a full run at Indiana Midget Week this year, but he’s made the best of it thus far, and his success reached a peak Friday night.

Seavey topped a stop-and-start, eight-caution, double-overtime marathon at Bloomington Speedway for his first USAC national midget win of the season, putting the Abacus Racing No. 57 back in the winner’s circle in the process.

The Sutter, Calif., veteran passed polesitter Bradley Cox on lap four and never trailed again, pacing the final 29 laps of what turned out to be a 32-lap feature at the quarter-mile, red-clay dirt track.

He mastered restart after restart, seeing the white flag three separate times along the way, en route to the milestone 20th victory of his USAC national midget career in his 204th series start.

Seavey became the 37th driver in history to win 20 or more USAC national midget features and tied himself with the legendary A.J. Foyt on the series’ all-time win list.

What began as a week where Seavey and company originally planned to prepare their non-winged sprint cars for the USAC Eastern Storm tour next week in Pennsylvania and New Jersey has now morphed into a chance at an Indiana Midget Week championship in the 22nd edition of the historic mini-series.

“We weren't planning on being here and now we're kind of in the hunt,” Seavey revealed. “Karter (Sarff) and Cannon (McIntosh) are obviously doing a good job, and they're going to be hard to catch, but I feel really good about Haubstadt tomorrow and these next couple races are going to be good.”

Seavey had a plan from the very beginning, though Cox set the early pace on the bottom of the racetrack.

Lap four was when it all panned out for him, as Indiana Midget Week point leader Karter Sarff roared past even further inside than where Cox was running, but Seavey stuck to his guns and ripped the cushion to build momentum on the outside of turns three and four.

The move stuck, Seavey passed both Sarff and Cox to lead at the flagstand, and once a red flag waved for the upside-down car of Thursday-night winner Justin Grant in turn four, Seavey had control of the race that he wouldn’t relinquish.

“I feel like every time I come here, my car's really good and I just don’t get to the lead early enough, and the bottom in [turns] one and two lately has been really, really fast. So, it’s kind of hard to pass the leader once they get in a rhythm,” Seavey explained. “I knew that if I was going to win this race, I had to get the lead early and get that rhythm.

“I felt really good about my line, even if they were a little bit better. I thought it would be really hard to get by us the way my line was, with where my car was working the best.”

Seavey had a plan for the lengthy sequence of restarts throughout the race, too, using that same patented high-line momentum to jet away from the competition each time.

“Starting on the top was better for me to get into one with a big arc and I wasn't very good at running in there slow and getting on the right front,” Seavey said. “I was really wanting to start on the top as much as I could but I knew there were a few times where I'd try to change it up and get them racing behind me a little bit, or something else.”

The first caution that extended the race was the seventh overall, when eighth-running Mack Leopard got into Hayden Reinbold in front of him, sparking a chain-reaction crash when Reinbold spun in turns one and two that collected Matt Sherrell and Grant – who had rallied from 24th to 10th when he was involved.

That pushed the total distance to 31 laps, which became 32 after Seavey took the white flag for the second time, only to see yellow lights again after Leopard slowed to a halt in turn four.

But Seavey was unfazed, getting one final perfect launch and completing two full laps from there to win by .452 seconds over Sarff, Cannon McIntosh, Jacob Denney and Drake Edwards.

“This car was good enough to where I could get away – I don’t know if I was getting away or not – but I felt good enough about my line to where I was running the bottom and protecting in one, then sliding myself in three,” Seavey reflected. “So, they had to do something really different to get by me there. My car just felt so good doing what I was doing that I wasn’t going to change anything up.

“I’ve been complaining a lot about my racecar the last couple of days,” he added. “(The crew) has been working really hard, and I just had to go out there and drive it and quit complaining and just do what I [know I] can do.”

Sarff maintains an 11-point advantage over McIntosh with two Indiana Midget Week rounds remaining.

Saturday night’s action takes the USAC national midgets to Lawrenceburg (Ind.) Speedway for the traditional penultimate race of Indiana Midget Week at the three-eighths-mile, high-banked oval.

Ryan Timms won the last Indiana Midget Week feature contested at the track back in 2024. Last year’s mini-series stop there was rained out.
