(PETERSEN MEDIA- Sacramento, CA )- A busy off season for the Bay Cities Racing Association has seen the storied organization join forces with Performance Open Wheel Racing Inc. (POWRi) to create the POWRi BCRA Lucas Oil Midget Series. For the first time ever a POWRi sanctioned race will take place in California Friday night at The Dirt Track and Kern County in Bakersfield, CA.
Friday night kicks off a fresh season of Midget action for the POWRi BCRA Lucas Oil Midget Series as it marks the first of 21 races all over the state of California offering up a nice mix of dirt and pavement facilities.
This weekend’s marquee event will take place on the upstart Dirt Track at Kern County, located at Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield, CA just off the backstretch of the state of the art pavement facility.
Building off of the 2018 season that saw young Jesse Love win the overall championship, Chad Nichols win the pavement title, and Maria Cofer win the dirt title, a new crop of drivers is expected to be on hand to set their sights at the first ever POWRi BCRA Lucas Oil Midget Series Championship.
