The twenty-car field is an all-time mark for the young stock production-powered Midget series which is presented by Masters Design and Construction. Four heat races were split by points leader Blake Bower of Brentwood, Steve Hix of Ventura, Megan Moorhead of Santa Paula, and incoming second in points David Prickett of Fresno.

Sarale paced all 20-laps of the feature after starting outside Greg Jewett. Moorhead advanced from sixth to equal her season best with a second-place result. 2019 Ventura WMR champion Randi Pankratz of Atascadero finished third followed by Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse and eight-starting Bower. French Camp’s Sage Bordenave was one of the hardest chargers of the race, advancing from 14th to finish sixth.

Western Midget Racing returns to the Copper State this weekend at Adobe Mountain Speedway in Glendale, Ariz.
