First Time Winner! Edwards Notches Initial USAC Midget Win at Mitchell County
It had been nearly nine years since the last occasion of an Arizona native becoming a first-time USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship feature winner. On Wednesday night, the last and the newest Arizonans to grab a victory with the series were standing side-by-side in victory lane as the winning driver and car owner following the 14th running of the Chad McDaniel Memorial at the Mitchell County Fairgrounds Raceway in Beloit, Kansas. The driver, Drake Edwards (Peoria, Arizona), took the lead on the second lap and the led the remaining 29 circuits at the wheel of his car owned by Chad Boat (Phoenix, Arizona) to capture victory in Wednesday’s Mid-America Midget Week round two.
