WALMER CONTINUES USAC YOUNG GUNS MIDGET DOMINATION WITH SIXTH WIN

PORTLAND, OREGON (October 13, 2010) – 15 year-old Keegan Walmer continued his dominance over the 2010 USAC Young Guns Midgets by winning the feature at Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino, Calif.

Walmer has accumulated six USAC Young Guns victories to go along with a victory in the USAC Ford Focus Midget Series.  Between the two series Walmer has also put together four pole positions.

He is a sophomore member of the Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle program, a NASCAR focused driver development program based in Sacramento, Calif.

Walmer qualified the Reser’s Fine Foods-sponsored Midget second fastest with a time of 13.569 seconds around the tricky quarter-mile bullring.

In one of the most entertaining main events of the 2010 season, Walmer went toe-to-toe with teammates Austin Farley and Jessica Clark.  Maintaining a top-three position throughout the race, Walmer finally made a stunning move for the lead on the final lap.

Walmer topped Farley by just .067 seconds in a photo finish at the stripe.

USAC NorCal Ford Focus Midgets also competed on Saturday night at Orange Show, with Walmer running a 13.221 second lap for a third best effort.

Competing against a busy field of NorCal and SoCal that totaled 16 cars, Walmer ran strong in the tightly wound lead pack.

Before falling as low as fourth, Walmer maintained second for much of the second half of the race before being passed on the 40^th and final lap.

The third place finish keeps Walmer solidly in fourth place in the hotly contested USAC NorCal Ford Focus Midget Series with two races left to go.

 “Keegan is driving like a seasoned champion this year,” driver coach Ron Sutton said.  “Keegan led only one lap on Saturday but it was the most important lap!”

Walmer has two races left on his 2010 campaign; the USAC Ford Focus Midget Nationals at the Las Vegas Bullring on November 6 and the Turkey Night Grand Prix on November 25.  Both are tracks where Walmer has excelled and both races should include a strong contingent of drivers from across the country.
