USAC's Honda Western Midget series returns to Petaluma (Calif.) Speedway Saturday night and drivers Trey Marcham and Jarid Blondel will be out to hang on to their respective point leads.
Marcham has a tenuous 17-point lead over defending Honda USAC Western Midget Dirt Champ Ronnie Gardner, while Blondel's overall Western Midget lead stands at 32 points over Marcham.
Gardner scored victories in both 2012 races at Petaluma, so the point leaders' work will be cut out for them Saturday.
