"TURKEY NIGHT" TO SETTLE WESTERN MIDGET TITLE;
KUHN TAKES TUCSON; FLOCK'S LEAD DOWN TO 7!

             The battle for the 2005 USAC Western Midget Car Series 
Championship will come down to the "Turkey Night Grand Prix" finale 
November 24! Four-time champion Robby Flock holds a slim seven-point lead 
over 2004 series runner-up Jerome Rodela following Saturday night's 
penultimate race in Tucson, Ariz.

             Rodela finished third and Flock ninth at Tucson, setting up 
the "showdown" at Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway on Thanksgiving.

             Brad Kuhn of Avon, Ind. won the 30-lap feature at USA Race 
Park in Tucson. Kuhn trailed Ron Gregory for 17 laps, then led the last 13 
in his Westin Homes/Magnum Axle Company Stealth/Stanton Mopar. Fast 
qualifier Jerry Coons Jr. finished second, while Rodela was third, Gregory 
fourth and Chad Boat fifth.

             The victory was the first in USAC's Western Series for Kuhn, 
who enjoys a wide margin in the independently-conducted "National Midget 
Driver of the Year" poll.

             A total of 66 points are available at the "Turkey Night" 
finale in Irwindale.
