MIDWEST FOCUS SERIES ENDS SEASON SUNDAY AT ANDERSON

INDIANAPOLIS -- The USAC Midwest Ford Focus Midget Car Series gears up for the final race of the 2005 season with this weekend's two-day show at Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Ind., the site of the most Midwest races in the three-year series.

Leading the pack to Saturday's preliminaries is points leader Tate Martz, whose seven victories in 2005 have put him 213 points ahead of Stephanie Mockler in the run for the championship. Of those seven triumphs, Martz won his first race this year at the quarter-mile paved oval. The title will be his second straight, as he used six wins last year to claim the series championship.

Ford Focus Midget hot laps are scheduled for running at noon Saturday with heat races set for 7 p.m. Features are set to kick off at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. The Ford Focus feature is scheduled for 30 laps. <pre> MIDWEST FORD FOCUS MIDGET CAR SERIES STANDINGS 1. Tate Martz 1100 2. Stephanie Mockler 887 3. James Robertson 795 4. Kyle Robbins 759 5.
