— Mitchel Moles’ first full season of USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship competition saw its fair share of brilliance with a handful of victories, fast qualifying times and a lasting impression that made him one of the most impressive individuals behind the wheel this season. By doing so, Moles became the first driver to be honored as the USAC National Midget Rookie of the Year while driving a car owned by a past series Rookie of the Year (Chad Boat in 2008). Moles endured a facet of the Rookie experience that is all too common for many first-year series competitors. “At pretty much every racetrack I went to this year, it was my first time there,” Moles revealed. “That’s a place I’ve wanted to win at really bad,” Moles said of Eldora. “I flipped a few times, and you just can’t have DNFs in this deal if you want to win a championship,” Moles iterated.
