The USAC Mopar D1 Midgets headline this Saturday’s USAC “tripleheader” program at the Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway.
Taylor Ferns brings a comfortable 162-point lead over Kyle Hamilton to the one-third paved CMS oval for the event which also includes USAC’s Midwest/Eastern Ford Focuses and Focus Young Guns.
Ferns’ 13 appearances this year have yielded no finish worse than 10th. Included have been a victory, a third and two fourths.
Hamilton has done well at CMS in recent years, winning a Ford Focus feature there in 2009.
Saturday will be “carload night” at CMS, with families admitted for a special “carload” price of just $10.
