VENTURA, CALIFORNIA (April 30, 2023) – Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. became the third different winner of the 2023 Western Midget Racing, dominating the 20-lap feature at Ventura Raceway on Saturday night.

Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse in the No. 20 Triple-X Chassis and 2022 champion Blake Bower of Brentwood in the No. 9 for Tony Boscacci split the two heat races. The 14-car field lined up Bell and 2022 Ventura Raceway WMR champion and race winner A.J. Hernandez of Phoenix on the front row.

Bell never relinquished the top spot while his teammate Bower got around Hernandez for second on lap ten. Bell topped Bower, Hernandez, Lodi’s Nate Wait, and Santa Cruz’s Logan Mitchell at the finish.
