GARDNER PICKS UP WESTERN MIDGET CHASE AT TULARE
Defending Honda USAC Western Midget Champion Ronnie Gardner of Norco, Calif. has a nine-point lead over Trey Marcham in the latest series standings as he searches for a third consecutive title.
Gardner and Marcham are the odds-on favorites for victory when the series visits Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif. Saturday for the "J.D. Heiskell & Company Race Night." Marcham won last year's race and fast qualifier Gardner finished second.
Third-ranking driver Randi Pankratz of Atascadero, Calif. could be among surprises at Tulare following her recent USAC HPD Western Midget victory at Bakersfield, Calif.
2015 Honda USAC Western Midget Standings: 1-Ronnie Gardner-73, 2-Trey Marcham-64, 3-Randi Pankratz-57, 4-David Prickett-57, 5-Scott Pierovich-55, 6-Terry Nichols-50, 7-Steve Davis-49, 8-Shannon McQueen-47, 9-Sean Dodenhoff-45, 10-Jimmy Voitel-42.
