The last two NASCAR Cup Series champions, Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott, will participate in the USAC National Midget Championship Hangtown 100 at Placerville (Calif.) Speedway on Nov. 18-20.

At Placerville, Elliott will drive a car owned by Kyle Larson Racing.

“It’s truly an exciting thing for everyone involved to have Chase Elliott compete at the Hangtown 100,” track promoter Scott Russell said in a statement. “We are thrilled that Chase has decided to run the event along with his teammate Kyle Larson.

“Having the last two NASCAR Cup Series champions in action at the Hangtown 100 is unprecedented. We hope everyone has their tickets and will come enjoy three nights of spectacular USAC National Midget racing with us.”

During the three-day event, a total purse of $150,000 plus contingencies will be up for grabs.

Larson and Elliott will compete again at Merced (Calif.) Speedway the following weekend in a two-day event.
