Great race. Thats why I think midgets are USAC's best series.

Gotta hand it to that boy he sure can drive.......dirt or pavement good show tonight good job Bobby thanks usac. tough break for Brad Kuhn was hoping for him to hold on....Brad gave it a hell of a run too...

they had more cautions than talledega.......geez

Still, Alot of side by side racing. Other than L-burg heats this year, I've never seen a bad midget race.

how come Whitt never got the lucky dog pass...?

Does anyone know what the final results are for the USAC Midgets?

I'll have to give credit, where credit is due. The last 10 laps of the feature, was some mighty intense racing, and the live feed, when the problems were finally corrected, was outstanding also. Just remember, don't shoot the messenger. Bob

Bryan Clauson finishes second for the FOURTH time in a row in a USAC feature since last Friday. That is something else.

Let me see......
short field
prelims were parades
way too many yellows in feature
track ate tires

Other than those minor details, it was one heck of a good night for USAC midget races
