ELK GROVE FORD MIDGET “MINI-SERIES” SLATED FOR PLACERVILLE & MERCED

Elk Grove, California (March 23, 2022)………Elk Grove Ford, along with California’s Placerville Speedway and Merced Speedway, have announced a new four-race mini-series for the USAC Western States Midgets in 2022.

The four-race series within a series, which debuts this Saturday night, March 26, with the USAC Western States Midget season opener at Placerville, will feature a special point fund for the final top-three earners, and is comprised of the four series events at Placerville on March 26 and May 7 in addition to Merced on April 23 and June 18.

Elk Grove Ford is putting up $200 per car, per event that will be added to the pot and make up the four-race point fund.  Once the four events are completed, points will be tabulated for those races and the overall champion will take home 50% of the point fund, while the runner up earns 30% of the total and third place receives 20% of it.

“This should be a great opportunity for the Midget teams in California to have a chance at some solid money,” Placerville Speedway’s Scott Russell stated.  “We are excited to partner up with Matt Wood and Elk Grove Ford, along with Doug Lockwood, S & S Promotions and Merced Speedway on this special series.  The point fund only increases with support, so we hope to have a solid field of cars on hand this Saturday to kick it all off at Placerville.  I can’t think of two tracks more conducive to Midget racing than Merced and Placerville.”

At Elk Grove Ford, they believe the car buying process should be as hassle-free as possible, taking pride in serving their customers to the fullest.  They are willing to answer all questions you might have during the car buying process and are conveniently located in Elk Grove, near Sacramento, Folsom & Roseville at 9645 Auto Center Drive in Elk Grove, California.
