MERCED, CA – APRIL 20, 2019… Racing past Maria Cofer on the 23rd circuit, Austin Liggett (Tracy, CA) powered to the first USAC Western States Midget win of his career at Merced Speedway. Driving the family owned #83 Excel Environmental Services / Liggett Trucking Spike, Liggett earned $2,000 by claiming the inaugural “Easter Egg Spectacular presented by Advanced IPM.” Shane Golobic, Mitchell Moles, Cory Elliott, and Ben Worth followed the new point leader to the checkered flags. 

For the second race in a row, David Prickett claimed the night’s Saldana Racing Products Hard Charger Award / Best Passing Job honors with an thirteenth to ninth place run. Marvin Mitchell secured his second Wilwood Disc Brakes “Lucky 13 Award” with a thirteenth place finish in the feature.

Dustin Golobic earned the night’s Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award over the 19-car roster by posting a new track record of 12.622.

The ten-lap heat race victories went to Cory Elliott (Extreme Mufflers First Heat), “Sugar” Shane Golobic (Brown & Miller Racing Solutions Second Heat), and Mitchell Moles (Competition Suspension Incorporated / Ultra Shield Race Products Third Heat).

This track was great. They really put some banking in it and I think the non-wing sprint cars are going to be a must see.

Just keep up that banking !!!

Also maybe a couple garbage cans ,and outhouses in the parking lot.

Along with a taco truck and you have something good keep it going.

good luck!!!
