Pedregon Staying Sharp!
06/23/2006

NHRA’s Funny Car driver/owner Frank Pedregon will return to the USAC Midget car series racing for Von Dutch-Everhart Motorsports this weekend on the 1/3 mile dirt track in Bakersfield, California.

In addition, look for Pedregon to compete in the USAC Midget races at the Ventura Raceway semi-banked oval 1/5 mile track July 1st in Ventura, California.

Pedregon, who has several feature wins in dirt cars, raced Midget cars with his brother Cruz and NASCAR Nextel Cup champion, Tony Stewart back in January at the World-renowned 20th annual O'Reilly Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Okla.

Pedregon said; “I love racing Midget cars, there powerful and they keep me sharp and in shape”

Recently, Pedregon has exerted a Herculean effort maintaining a schedule that has included re-structuring his Von Dutch/Toyo NHRA Drag Racing team, developing his young, yet talented NASCAR driver, Jessica Helberg, extending his limited racing schedule with the IHRA racing series and participating in selected USAC Midget races.

Pedregon commented; “I wouldn’t have it any other way, racing is in my blood”
