The USAC California Ford Focus Dirt Midget Car Series continues a four-weekend race streak Saturday when competitors head to Chowchilla (Calif. ) Speedway, the third track to host a series race in as many weekends. Nick Carlson still leads the point standings following his season opening victory at Ventura (Calif. ) Raceway, but the lead was slimmed ever so slightly by Nic Faas, who scored his second series victory Saturday at Bakersfield (Calif. ) Speedway. Faas, in the No. 17 Faas-owned machine, drove past Carlson on Lap 18 of the 20-lapper to capture the race. Carlson, who led the opening lap only to lose it and return to the lead from Laps 11-17, finished second, ahead of Walt Johnson, defending series champion Bobby Michnowicz and Jet Davidson. Dennis Howell, who finished eighth in the feature, led Laps 2-10. Ricky Kirkbride was the evening’s only flip as he turned over during the feature. <span class="intext"> <script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a href='http://www.autoracingdaily.com/0pen@ds/www/delivery/ck.php?n=abcb3366&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.autoracingdaily.com/0pen@ds/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=47&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=abcb3366' border='0' alt='' /></a></noscript> </span> http://www.autoracingdaily.com/2056/
