USAC Dirt Midget Association
Ellington, CT: Bradford Vermont racer Adam Pierson, who races with the USAC Dirt Midget Association, is on the verge of matching a USAC record that has stood the test of time since 1995.
During the 1995 USAC race season, well known driver Billy Boat won eleven straight Western Midget races and that all-time single season record has been in the USAC history book ever since Boat accomplished it.
Now twenty one years after Boat made USAC racing history, Pierson is in range to join Boat in accomplishing the same record. With only two races left in the USAC Dirt Midget Association season, Pierson has nine wins and is aiming for that magic number of eleven.
