USAC National Midgets Headline Merced Thanksgiving Program

MERCED, Calif. — For the fourth consecutive season Merced Speedway will open Thanksgiving week with the NOS Energy Drink USAC National Midget Series headlining a two-night Midget Madness program next Tuesday and Wednesday night.

As the stars and cars of the national series make their annual November trip to California, next week is their final week of the season, and Merced Speedway will again host the series for two nights of action, culminating with a midget/winged 360 doubleheader on Wednesday night.

The action gets underway on Tuesday as the NOS Energy Drink USAC National Midget Series headlines the card with the IMCA Sport Mods and the hobby stocks also scheduled for action.

Wednesday night’s Thanksgiving Eve show again features the NOS Energy USAC National Midget Series, and they will be joined on the quarter-mile bullring by the Winged 360ci Sprint Cars in what is the third and final appearance of the season at the track.

Some of the national stars expected to be in attendance Tuesday and Wednesday night include Buddy Kofoid, Logan Seavey, Ryan Timms, Justin Grant, Daison Pursley, Tanner Thorson, Thomas Meseraul, Jade Avedisian, Taylor Reimer and a host of others.
