EASTERN HPDs HEAD FOR ACE & HICKORY; NOBILE, LESSER TAKE “POMBO/SARGENT” WINS
|
Back-to-back races at Altamahaw and Hickory, N.C. await the USAC Eastern HPD Midget Series this weekend. Chris Lamb, the 2013 series champion, leads the standings by six points over Jake Nelke entering Friday and Saturday races at Ace Speedway and Hickory Motor Speedway respectively.
Defending Eastern champion Scott Hunter stands third in the 2015 standings going into the two upcoming races.
Dylan Nobile of Clovis, Calif. and Ethan Lesser of Livermore, Calif. earned USAC HPD Western Midget victories Saturday night at the “Pombo/Sargent Classic” at Madera (Calif.) Speedway. Nobile trailed Tom Paterson for 26 laps, then led the last four to beat Paterson, Annie Breidinger, Toni Breidinger and Cody Jessop. In the 15-lap “restricted” feature, Lesser caught Jesse Love on the final lap to beat Love and Blake Brannon to the checkered flag.
The Western HPD Midgets return to action at Madera April 11.
Lamb scored three victories and four seconds at Ace last year and won the only Hickory appearance during 2014.
