USAC’S BUSIEST NOVEMBER EVER HAS ARRIVED!

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Speedway, Indiana (November 1, 2021)………At this juncture, late in the racing season, the racing world is nearing the completion of its year and looking forward to winding down the year down and ease into the offseason.

But that's not how the book on USAC's 2021 story will conclude.* In fact, the month November is full steam ahead with a record 14 USAC National events taking place in Arizona and California during a 24-day span between November 4 and November 27.

The slate features five USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship events and nine USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship showdowns.* The previous record for USAC National events held in November was 11 back in 2019 with six midget and five sprint car races on that year's docket.

Singularly, the most USAC National Midget events held in a single November is six in both 1989 and 2019.* A record six USAC National Sprint races took place in 2005, 2006 and 2015.

The five Sprint Car dates this month include three-straight nights at California’s Perris Auto Speedway on Nov. 4-5-6 for the 25th Heimark Anheuser Busch Oval National Presented by All Coast Construction, followed by back-to-back evenings at Arizona Speedway on Nov. 12-13 for the 55th annual Western World Championships Presented by San Tan Ford.

The run of nine Midget events begins at Arizona Speedway in conjunction with the sprints on Nov. 12-13, then it’s onto California for the final seven, starting at Bakersfield Speedway’s November Classic on Nov. 16, then three-in-a-row at Placerville Speedway for the Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100 on Nov. 18-19-20, twice at Merced Speedway on Nov. 23-24, then the finale at Ventura Raceway on Nov. 27 for the 80th running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix.

Too bad Perris conflicts with WoO Finals, for weirdos like me who like both styles.
Fortunately I have 2 laptops, Flo & Dirtvision. Sometimes you get lucky & yellows fall at the right time... & 3 hr. time difference will help too!
If I didn't have to take care of Mom, I'd go to those Midget races in Placerville!
