31 Races On Western Midget Racing Schedule

WATSONVILLE, Calif. – Western Midget Racing presented by Masters Design and Construction has unveiled its schedule, with the stock production powered midgets slated for 31 races across six dirt tracks on the West Coast.

The season is book ended by visits to Adobe Mountain Speedway in Glendale, Ariz., with races in California at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway, Marysville Raceway, Antioch Speedway, Petaluma Speedway, and Ventura Raceway also scheduled.

The Ventura Raceway events are tentative pending confirmation from the fairgrounds later this off season.

Blake Bower narrowly defeated David Prickett for the Western Midget Racing championship in the final event of the season this year. Drivers competed for more than $8,000 in points fund awards. More than 30 different cars and more than 70 drivers appeared throughout the growing campaign. The series hit its high mark with multiple 20 car fields at Ventura Raceway.

The Northern California slate expands with the additional of Chad Chadwick’s Antioch Speedway for four appearances and two races at Dennis Gage’s Marysville Raceway Park. Petaluma Speedway and promoter Rick Faeth will welcome WMR with four visits while John Prentice and Ocean Speedway will see six starts at the Watsonville quarter-mile.

Ventura Raceway is scheduled for seven races while the growing contingent of racers at Adobe Mountain Speedway in Glendale, Ariz., located just north of Phoenix, hosts eight Western Midget Racing events this season. Jan. 29 will be the season opener for WMR from Adobe Mountain. The conclusion of the 31 race season will be at Adobe Mountain’s tight confines on Nov. 12.
