USAC Ford Focus activity will occur this week in Indiana, California and Utah. The Indianapolis Speedrome’s “Michael Lang Night” Wednesday includes Midwest Ford Focus and Young Guns races in addition to the Regional and Mopar .25 Midgets. Saturday, the Western/Utah Focuses race at Rocky Mountain Raceways in Salt Lake City and the Western Ford Focuses and Young Guns are in action at Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway.
Cody Gerhardt of Madera, Calif. and Keegan Walmer of Portland, Ore. shared the victory podium in Saturday night’s USAC Ford Focus “doubleheader” at the Stockton (Calif.) 99 Speedway. Gerhardt led all 30 laps to win the Western Ford Focus race, while Walmer passed Brandon White on lap 21 and led the last five laps to win the 25-lap Young Guns feature. Fast qualifier Gerhardt was trailed by Garrett Peterson, Tim Skoglund, Walmer and Cody Thompson. In the Young Guns race Walmer was followed to the stripe by White, Thompson, Shon Gooden and Courtney Atkinson.
Andrew Mulhearn of Whittier, Calif. and Alex Jacobsen of San Jose, Calif. scored USAC feature victories at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif. Friday night.
