2025 BANQUET

---

As voted on by our drivers, the 2025 National Compact Touring Series Track of the Year goes to Russell’s M-40 Speedway!

From the moment our teams arrive, the entire speedway staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and at home. Their dedication to our drivers and the series does not go unnoticed.

Russell's M-40 Speedway  has also been a tremendous supporter of our annual Down Syndrome Awareness event—helping grow it into a meaningful and important staple on our schedule. Thank you to the entire team at M-40 Speedway for your continued support and commitment to our series!

We are thrilled to announce that our drivers have voted Hartford Motor Speedway as the 2025 Track of the Year!

This award is about more than just the dirt on the track; it’s about the people behind it. Tim and Leah Dibble have been pillars of support for the Midwest Compacts and our drivers since day one. From hosting impactful community events like the Down Syndrome Dirt Race to making us feel like family every time we roll through the gates, Hartford truly feels like home.

To Tim, Leah, and the entire Hartford Motor Speedway staff: Thank you for your unwavering partnership and for everything you do for the racing community. We can’t wait to get back to work in 2026!

The Chris Mize Award is presented to someone who embodies the passion, dedication, and leadership that Chris showed both on and off the track—and this year’s recipient truly represents all of those qualities.

Congratulations to Ric Nic of Accent Roofing, the 2025 Chris Mize Award winner!

Ric’s unwavering support of the Midwest Compact Touring Series, his commitment to helping drivers at both the series and local track level, and his recent investment in the future of our sport through the Mini Wedge kids program make him more than deserving of this honor.

His passion for racing and dedication to the racing community reflect everything the Chris Mize Award stands for.

Congratulations, Ric, and thank you for all you do for the sport!
