Hoosier Midwest Legends Series

03/27/2025

Sorry for the long delay in communication.

Due to health reasons, I will be stepping away from maintaining this site. The other HMLS BOD members will still have access to this site if general communication to Indiana/Midwest Legend Drivers is needed. With that said, Hoosier Midwest Legend Series will be INACTIVE for the 2025 race season. All Legend races in the State of Indiana will be promoted and maintained by:

Anderson Speedway (track officials)
Indianapolis Speedway (track officials)
Salem Speedway (track officials)
Mt Lawn Speedway (Johnny Weaver)
*All of these tracks will be INEX sanctioned, so please have your INEX membership ready.

At this time, there doesn’t appear to be any Legend races at Sportsdrome Speedway.

Please follow and find all Legend race information on each track’s website or social media communication. Again, this site will NOT be regularly updated or maintained this year.

HMLS wishes you a fantastic 2025 race season and we appreciate all of your past support. I will finally finish the 2024 HMLS Championship announcement and congratulate our last year’s drivers. Again, sorry for the incredibly huge delay (an accident took me out for a while).

Here are your 2024 Hoosier Midwest Legend Series Championship Standings:

Top 5 Drivers & Specially Recognized Drivers:

1. Xavier King (2024 Champion)
2. Johnny Weaver
3. Eddie Fosnight
4. John Robbins

Big congratulations to Xavier King for winning the 2024 HMLS Championship. Way to go Xavier!! He battled with some of the best Legend racers within INEX and became Champion in the racing capital of the world! 🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️

We love that we had amazing drivers represent HMLS last year and we wish you all the best for 2025.

There was a concerted scheduling effort put in by Speedrome and Anderson Speedway to not have any conflicts of schedule, both tracks to be INEX scheduled, and racing rule concerns at Speedrome to be corrected. These changes have basically replaced the need of the series at this time. Thank you for your support and good luck in the future. See you at the track.

That’s a wrap! 🎥 The 2024 Anderson Champ #19 John Robbins won the last race at Anderson Speedway on a beautiful October 5th evening. 🏁 It happened to be the Fritz/Dietzen Memorial that meant a lot to John, our most Veteran Legend Driver racing in our series. John personally knew past drivers Grant & Larry Fritz and Greg Dietzen to make this win extra special. Larry Fritz began Legends racing in Indiana. When Larry’s son Grant passed away, the Fritz 100 lap memorial began. When long time Legend Driver Greg Dietzen (an attorney in Anderson and one of the first to buy a Legend car) passed away, the Fritz Memorial then became the Fritz/Dietzen Memorial. When Larry Fritz passed away, his memorial was also included into this memorial race. Needless to say, a lot of Legend Car history in Indiana is wrapped up into this memorial race…apropos for Veteran Driver John to win. 🏁

With this win, John tied Sam Johnson for the most wins at Anderson Speedway this year. They both have made watching Legend’s race at Anderson very exciting and entertaining to watch this year. 🏁

Finishing in the top 5 were #84 Xavier King (our current HMLS points leader) finishing 2nd, Sam Johnson (our current HMLS driver with the most wins) finishing 3rd, Johnny Weaver finishing 4th and youngster #8 Eddie Fosnight finishing 5th (who is only 14 years old).

We want to express our utmost appreciation to Anderson Speedway for their loyalty to Legend Car racing, loyalty of a couple of decades to INEX sanctioning, & all of their accommodations and promotions for our series. Calling Anderson Speedway our Home Track is an true honor. ⭐️

With it being our last race, Anderson Speedway awarded trophies and a payout to the top drivers and awarded trophies to the team owners…without them we wouldn’t have our fantastic car count. Anderson Speedway also awarded 2 free memberships for the 2025 season to the drivers with perfect attendance. Thank you Anderson Speedway for all the driver recognition and providing these wonderful awards to our drivers!! ⭐️🎉 Can’t wait to race Anderson Speedway again next year!!
