Arizona Speedway in San Tan Valley hosting 53rd Western World Championships
by | FloRacing
The Western World Championships presented by San Tan Ford. It’s a name that oozes with a rich history dating back to Bob Cleberg’s triumph at Manzanita in 1968, and has seen a handful of differing iterations over the past half-century, wing, no-wing, 410s, 360s, sprint cars and midgets at a variety of racetracks in recent years.
The event has found a home over the past five years at Arizona Speedway in San Tan Valley, which will host the 53rd running on November 13-14 at the 1/3-mile dirt oval, with a practice night leading off the proceedings on November 12 in conjunction with the USAC Western States Midgets as well as the AMSOIL USAC CRA / USAC Southwest Sprint Cars.
Midgets have only made sporadic appearances at the Western World in the past decade with Bryan Clauson (2013), Darren Hagen (2014) and Brady Bacon (2019) the only individuals who can lay claim to the throne as a Western World Midget champion.
