NOBLITT, MARTZ RESUME MIDWEST FOCUS SCHEDULE

SATURDAY AT BUTLER BATTLE GROUNDS

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS - Jordan Noblitt and Tate Martz hope rain doesn't intervene with Round 3 yet again of the USAC Midwest Ford Focus Dirt Midget Car Series this weekend.

 

Both drivers, separated by four points, hope to stand on top of the standings after Saturday's race at the Butler Battle Grounds in Quincy, Mich. The race is a rescheduled event from an Aug. 25 rainout.

 

Noblitt is looking for his first USAC championship, while Martz is looking for his third. Martz also leads the Midwest Pavement point standings.

 

Defending National Ford Focus champion Robbie Ray is also within nine points of Noblitt. Ray owns two Ford Focus titles.
