Many Drivers struggled in the feature only gotta look likes of Justin Grant and Logan Seavey didnt even crack top 10. Biggest movers in the field was Gavin Miller and Kyle Jones. just Difficult with so many good drivers MP has struggled in Qualifying he's making up some spots in  the Feature  when your right at the back really difficult get right up near the front. look at his team mate KTJ he placed 16th and MP 18th.

MP qualified 23rd out of 32 tonight. front row start for his Heat race without good qualifying run does appear whats hurting his chance of good starting for Feature. again looks like start further down the pack. dont imagine he'll be in top 10. we shall see end of the feature. first with heats (Top 5 advance)

Carbon copy of yesterday's effort so far.

Qualifying way down the list and just gone backwards again in his heat.

Definitely not the Pickens we are use to.

Two 14th placings and a 18th so far in Midget week, definitely something not clicking with Michael.

I reckon it's a car/team thing. heard them say they can't get the SR 11's to run how they want. KTJ having similar problems to teammate MP. Another 20 something quali for both today at Tri-State. The young guns are certainly to the fore so far.

Qualified 24th fastest out of 33. starts off front heat 4. looks like another night of struggling with car speed

[TRD]

Ground hog day again.

Shame to see him struggling due to the equipment he's in.

KtJ went through 2 cars and 4 engines in thr last 2 days so clearly the team and thier stuff isn't up to it.

5th His heat race and 25th finish tonights feature. obviously not the best car get those results. least he made the field unlike KTJ failed get out of Semi Main.

Hard to watch this one. I feel for Michael. He won't be liking the results. Especially this one.

Often you see it so many times through out the sport ,you can be top dog in your home country ,then once abroad unless your cars are with you plus crews ,everything just goes backwards and to me thats the case with Mr Pickens ..
He will struggle with this team and the cars it has ,may of looked a little glossy on paper ,but the proof is starting to shine through ..

On a more happier note at San Francisco bay our yachting boys are on the top of the points table with the finals starting in July i am sure they will win ,but it is exciting racing to watch ..

As a sporting country we certainly put ourselves on the world map

Percy will be hibernating from the winter blues and grinding his teeth on the latest rates rise ,and if you are over 65 get a free flu injection and a booster shot for covid ...

From Michael's Facebook page.

Huge thanks to Mounce/Stout for everything this last week, it’s been a blast working with Jay and his guys, and I appreciate all their hard work.

Tonight I’ll be in the 67K for Keith Kunz Motorsports to round out Indiana Midget Week with USAC Racing, huge thanks to Keith and Pete for the opportunity!

Great to see him in some decent equipment for Kokomo today.

No excuses now, think we will see the MP we are more accustomed to 👍
