Rain Halts Saturday USAC Midget Nightcap

OCALA, Fla. – Saturday afternoon’s second event of the day for the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series at Bubba Raceway Park was rained out just prior to the start of heat races.

With tornado warnings in the area and rain falling, which was forecasted to continue for the rest of the evening, the event came to an end following Fatheadz Eyewear Qualifying, where Tanner Thorson recorded quick time.

A new event for the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets is now scheduled for Monday night, Feb. 8 at Bubba Raceway Park.  Pits open at 4 p.m. ET, with the front gates at 5 p.m. and cars on track at 6 p.m..

For Monday, adult general admission tickets are $30 with kids age 11 and under free.  Pit passes are $40 each.

Saturday’s Fatheadz Qualifying session will count toward the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series point standings due to it being a complete session.

However, Monday’s program will begin completely from scratch, starting with hot laps and qualifying before going into the heat races, semi-feature & feature event.
