Rain nixes midget racing nationwide!

National Midget Driver of the Year

From NMDOTY
For the first time in several years every midget race scheduled was rained out. Our cover picture comes from the 500-mile midget race at California’s Riverside Motor Speedway on May 31,1958. URA sanctioned midgets were part of the unique event on the famed road course, which featured three 500-mile race events over three days. Allen Heath won the 190-lap midget feature by six laps over Joe Baker and Parnelli Jones. Thirty-four midgets started the event.
Five events this weekend and Montpelier opener
Lucas Oil POWRi West competition continues with a doubleheader. Oklahoma’s Outlaw Motor Speedway on Friday night is followed by a trip to I-30 speedway in Little Rock, AR.
