PERRIS, CA (October 28, 2019) – Jason McDougal has teamed up with Dwight Cheney to compete for the Glendora, Calif. based car owner in the November 7-8-9 Budweiser Oval Nationals presented by All Coast Construction at California’s Perris Auto Speedway.
McDougal (Broken Arrow, Okla.) will drive Cheney’s No. 42x alongside teammate and current USAC Sands Chevrolet Southwest Sprint Car point leader Brody Roa (Garden Grove, Calif.).
McDougal is one of six drivers this season to win a feature in both the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car and NOS Energy Drink National Midget divisions. McDougal won his second career USAC National Sprint Car feature victory earlier this June during Eastern Storm at New Jersey’s Bridgeport Speedway.
McDougal has also won his first two career USAC National Midget feature events in 2019, capturing July’s Mid-America Midget Week round at Jefferson County Speedway in Fairbury, Neb., then putting on a spectacular show in his drive to victory just two weeks ago at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind.
McDougal has made two appearances in Cheney’s sprint car this season in USAC/CRA and Southwest Sprint competition. He was 6th at Arizona’s Canyon Speedway Park on March 8, then charged from his 13th starting spot to a 5th place finish the following night at Canyon.
In USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car competition this year, multiple drivers have been in the seat of Cheney’s No. 42, namely Dave Darland and Scotty Weir. Danny Faria, Jr. and Jake Swanson have also wheeled Cheney’s ride on the west coast this year with Swanson driving the car to fast time during qualifying and a third-place finish at Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway in May.
Cheney’s No. 42 currently resides fourth in USAC/CRA owner points. Cheney owns two USAC/CRA victories as a car owner, with Darland in 2005 and with Max Adams in 2017.
