Dalby sailed to his third straight USAC Western States Midget victory over Elliott, rookie contender Ben Worth, polesitter Cody Swanson, and Kyle Beilman. For the second race in a row, C.J. Sarna earned the night’s Saldana Racing Products Hard Charger Award and the Best Passing Job honors with a 10th place finish after starting 19th.
