The season comes to a close with the 80 th running of the ARP Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura Raceway on its new date of Saturday night, November 27. The final stretch includes two dates at Merced Speedway on Tuesday, November 23 and Wednesday, November 24.
Another record we could, perhaps, talk more about next week.īakersfield’s round is followed by three-straight nights at the Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 18-19-20. With seven to go, three more victories are needed to become the first double-digit race winner since Rich Vogler in 1988. They’ve still got seven races remaining, all in the state of California, starting on Tuesday, November 16 at Bakersfield Speedway for the November Classic. Jimmy Davies notched seven or more amidst three consecutive championship seasons in while Kenyon collected three-in-a-row in, the first two seasons of which resulted in championships two and three for the “King of Midgets.”įor Windom and Thorson, however, their seasons aren’t quite finished. In 1969, four different drivers hit on seven or more victories for the first and only time: Mel Kenyon (14), Bob Tattersall (11), Bob Wente (8) & Lee Kunzman (8). Billy Vukovich chimed in with seven victories of his own that same season.
#STATBOOK MAC SERIES#
Mel Kenyon hit the still-standing high watermark of USAC National Midget feature single season wins during the 1967 season with 17 en route to the second of his seven career series driving championships. The trio of Jimmy Davies (9), Bob Wente (7) and Gene Hartley (7) duplicated seven-win seasons in 1960, marking the first time three drivers did the deal. Rex Easton (11) and George Amick (7) were the first duo to accomplish the feat in 1957. Interestingly enough, this used to be a common occurrence in the early years of USAC when the Midget series schedule regularly reached 60-70 events per year, peaking at a whopping 79 races held in 1964. That season saw first-time series champ Rich Vogler and Sleepy Tripp score a grand total of 11 and eight wins, respectively. The last time two different drivers earned at least seven USAC National Midget wins in a single season was, in fact, 1978! That’s 43 years ago for those of you playing at home. It’s rare.īut, with Chris Windom’s victory last Saturday night during the Western World Championships at Arizona Speedway, he equaled Tanner Thorson with seven feature series wins this season.Ĭertainly, it’s a noble accomplishment by both, but a deeper dig into the numbers shows that this is one of the most rare accomplishments in recent USAC history. STAT BOOK: WINDOM & THORSON ACCOMPLISH A FEAT THAT HASN’T BEEN DONE IN 43 YEARS!īakersfield, California (November 16, 2021)………Over the last four decades, multiple drivers putting up big feature winning totals during a USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship has occurred about as often as a barely cooked steak.
