NATIONAL MIDGET CHAMP CLAUSON WINS "TURKEY NIGHT;" SCHUTTE GRABS FIRST WESTERN MIDGET TITLE
The 2010 USAC National Drivers Championship, the 2010 USAC Mopar National Midget title and the 2010 USAC Dirt Midget crown all belong to Bryan Clauson after he won Thursday night's 70th "Turkey Night Grand Prix" Midget race at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, Calif.
Clauson became the first back-to-back winner of the classic in 15 years. The National Drivers Championship earns him the $300,000 scholarship for a Firestone Indy Lights ride in all of the 2011 oval-track races as well as a $40,000 cash bonus from USAC.
Alex Schutte of Redding, Calif. put a lid on the 2010 USAC Mopar Western Midget title, his first.
Clauson passed Cole Whitt on lap nine and led the rest of the way in his Toyota/Nos Energy Drink Beast/Toyota and was trailed at the checkered flag by Caleb Armstrong, Dalton Armstrong, Kyle Hamilton and Bobby East. Pole starter and new track record holder Kody Swanson led the opening lap. Dakoda Armstrong led the next two and Whitt the next five before Clauson made his way to the head of the pack. Dalton Armstrong's performance earned him the Don Basile "Rookie of the Race" award.
