PETALUMA, Calif. – The USAC Western States Midget Series makes a return to action on Saturday, July 18 at California’s Petaluma Speedway.

The co-sanctioned event with the Bay Cities Racing Ass’n midgets will be a non-point race for the USAC Western States Midgets and pay $600 to win and $100 to start.
