WMR
Western Midget Racing is a midget race car racing organization serving the Western United States that’s designed to be an affordable local and regional level alternative to the much more expensive national level midget racing, according to MRP organizers.
Fresno’s David Prickett won the previous race held at MRP on April 2. Brentwood’s Blake Bower has been the dominant driver with 10 main event wins for the tour this season.
This will be the second and final appearance of the season for WMR.
