See You At The Races!!!

Oildale, CA., Aug. 6 - Walt Johnson won his third three-quarter midget 25-lap main event of the eight-race old season Saturday night at the banked, third-mile Bakersfield Speedway. It was his fifth feature triumph in NMRA. He drove the Robert and Cynthia Welcomer-owned chassis that he built. The car used a Priestley Honda for power. It was the fourth main event victory this season for the car owners. Jody Bandfield drove the Welcomer No. 15 to victory May 28 at Bakersfield while builder/driver Johnson was attending a family gathering.

    Chuck West, NMRA's 2002 champion, West Evans, Kenny Wiley and Bruce
Hiroshima finished second through fifth respectively. Michael Bliffen, Richard Ortega, Jr, 2003-04 NMRA champion Steve Lambert, Scott Taylor and newcomer Richard Marshall rounded out the top ten in a 13-car field. Wiley led the first nine laps. Johnson paced laps 10-25.

    Lambert and Bandfield, driving his own No. 4 car, won a pair of eight-lap heat races. With the cancellation of three remaining races at Santa Maria Speedway, the next NMRA race will take place Saturday, September 3 at the quarter-mile, paved Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino. It will be the third race at the track this year.
