FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Dec. 29, 2023) – The silver running of the Rumble in Fort Wayne got underway Thursday evening inside Allen County War Memorial Coliseum with one of the busiest practice nights in recent memory.

Headlined by 37 national midget entries, more than 200 race cars across 19 different classes took at least one timed lap around the sixth-mile concrete oval during a pair of sessions on the Coliseum floor.
Joe Liguori, the third-generation racer who has done everything but park his No. 8up midget in Rumble victory lane, turned one of the fastest laps of the day of 8.147 seconds during the first practice session.
– Thursday’s practice night was a relatively tidy affair, going green at 4:30 p.m. ET sharp and taking the final checkered flag just after 9:40 p.m.
Thirty-eight practice groups over a span of five hours and 10 minutes, with no major incidents during the evening, was something that promoter Larry Boos later noted “is exactly what we like to see.”
– Nearly 300 total entries are expected when the first day of racing kicks off at 11 a.m. ET Friday.
