Josh Lakatos of Pasadena, Calif. captured Saturday night's 20-lap USAC California Ford Focus Midget Car race at the Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway and now ranks second in both the North and South point rankings. He'll continue his pursuit of point leader Todd Hunsaker in this Saturday night's program of races at the Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway.
Lakatos caught early leader Bobby McGowan on the 16th lap at Irwindale and led the final five laps in his Matco Tools/Race Truck Trends Beast to beat Chris Rahe, McGowan, fast qualifier Hunsaker and Garratt Boyden. Hunsaker, of Chino Hills, Calif., emerged with a 46-point lead over Lakatos in the new South standings, which will again be affected by this Saturday's race at Perris.
McGowan, who has recorded eight "top-10" finishes in nine series starts so far this year, led the first 15 laps at Irwindale before Lakatos moved to the front.
A 20-lap feature is on tap at Perris, where Lakatos won in March.
