HPD MIDGETS AT LAS VEGAS, KOKOMO & ACE; BRECKENRIDGE GETS VICTORY #1 AT LVMS
USAC's Eastern, Midwestern and Western HPD Midgets all are in action this coming weekend.
The Eastern Series gets under way at Ace Speedway in Altamont, N.C. with back-to-back races on Friday and Saturday nights. Kokomo (Ind.) Speedway, as part of its "Kokomo Midget Grand Prix," hosts the Midwestern HPD Midgets Friday and Saturday, also opening that series for the season. The Western series resumes at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway's Bullring, site of last Saturday's history-making race.
The history was made by female driver Christine Breckenridge of Irvine, Calif., who became the 26th female driver to win a USAC feature race by taking Saturday's 30-lap Western HPD Midget feature at Las Vegas. She passed fast qualifier Michael Fanelli on lap 11 and led the rest of the way to beat Jeff Kelley, Fanelli, Shawn Buckley and Marina Turner. She's the first female USAC feature winner in nearly a year.
