Gray and Delano’s Terry Nichols split the eight-lap heat races, then shared the front row for the feature. Gray zipped to a six second advantage at the checkered flag in a sizzling performance. Nichols finished second for the second time this season. 2025 champion Logan Mitchell overcame trouble getting his car to start for the feature, storming from the back to finish third. Rookie Ncholas Leonard finished fourth followed by Nathan Moore in fifth.
Western Midget Racing heads into a stretch of three consecutive co-sanctioned races, paying points for the race within a race against the Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets in the California Super Series. The series go head-to-head on April 18 at Placerville Speedway, May 2 at Marysville Raceway, and May 16 at Merced Speedway.
