The USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship has published detailed event information and logistics for three California races this November, including schedules, formats, entry/ticketing and technical rules for teams and fans. All three events are overseen by Race Director Kirk Spridgeon and will offer live video on FloRacing, audio on the USAC app and Mixlr, and live updates on USAC’s Facebook and X accounts; additional timing and scoreboard services (MyRacePass and Race Monitor) will be available for the Jason Leffler Memorial. USAC membership is required where noted to earn championship points and contingency awards.

The Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway (1/4-mile) is set for Saturday, Nov. 14. Pits open at 2:00 p.m. PT, front gates and the drivers meeting open at 4:00 p.m., and cars go on track at 5:00 p.m. USAC’s midget program for Hangtown eliminates traditional qualifying and uses 10-lap heat races with seed-based inversion, followed by a 12-lap semi-feature and a 100-lap feature; caution laps will not count in the feature and an open red flag is scheduled between laps 40 and 60. Transfer numbers will be set by car count. Tire rules require an SP3-stamped right-rear tire, and changing that tire will drop a car to the tail of the feature field. Entry fees are $30 for USAC members and $40 for non-members; the winner’s purse is $10,000 and awards 70 points.

The Jason Leffler Memorial at Bakersfield Speedway — Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway (1/3-mile) — will run Tuesday, Nov. 24. Pits open at 2:00 p.m. PT, gates at 4:00 p.m., drivers meeting at 4:30 p.m., and on-track action at 5:00 p.m. Adult general admission is $30, kids 6–12 $15 and children 5 and under free; pit passes are $50 (or $45 for USAC members). The on-track format calls for two-lap qualifying (fastest lap counts), 8-lap heat races with a six-car inversion, a 12-lap semi-feature and a 30-lap feature. The winner’s purse is $12,500. The event lists a mandatory driver radio frequency of 464.5500, and drivers must be USAC members to earn points and contingency awards. Live video will stream on FloRacing, with audio on the USAC app and Mixlr and live updates on USAC’s social accounts; timing/scoreboard info will be provided via MyRacePass and Race Monitor.

The 85th ARP Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura Raceway (1/5-mile) is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 28, with USAC Midget practice and Ultimate Sprint Car Series activity on Friday, Nov. 27. Pits will open at 11:00 a.m. PT both days; a drivers meeting is set for 2:30 p.m., grandstands open at 3:00 p.m. and on-track action begins at 3:30 p.m. Qualifying will use two-lap runs with the fastest lap counting and the top 10 positions locked, followed by three qualifying races (top four transfer from each) and a Last Chance Qualifier that advances the top four to the feature. The main feature will be 98 laps, limited to 26 starters. Officials will stamp the right‑rear tire for qualifying, heats and the feature and changing that tire will send a car to the tail of the field; a muffler is required under the event technical rules. Entry fees are $30 for USAC members and $40 for non-members; advance ticketing lists Friday grandstand $22, Friday pit $40 (members)/$50 (non-members), Saturday general admission $40, reserved $50 and Saturday pit $50. The Turkey Night winner will receive $15,000 and 70 points, with second place paid $6,000 and 67 points. Live coverage will be on FloRacing with audio on the USAC app and Mixlr and live updates on Facebook and X.
