Nick Leonard Jr made his debut in the Western Midget Racing (WMR) series on Friday night at Watsonville Speedway.

Nick started last in his heat race, but worked his way to the front picking up his first WMR heat race win. He then rolled off third in the main event and brought it home with a solid 4th place finish.

This was Nick’s first race with the Boscacci Racing Team, owned by Tony Boscacci. It was a great night of racing, learned a lot and looking forward to building on this momentum heading into race 2 at Antioch Speedway on Saturday April 4th.

Huge thank you to Tony Boscacci and Anthony Bruno for all their hard work on the car, and to James Vargas and the entire team for all the support.

Nicholas Leonard Jr. Joins Boscacci Racing for 2026 Western Midget Racing Season

San Jose, CA — Nicholas Leonard Jr. of San Jose, California is excited to announce his plans to compete full-time in Western Midget Racing (WMR) during the 2026 season. Nicholas will be driving a full-size midget for Tony Boscacci Racing, one of the most respected teams in West Coast midget racing.

“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to race with Boscacci Racing,” said Nicholas. “My goals for the season are to learn as much as possible, be a strong and supportive teammate, and of course, compete for wins.”

Nicholas will be teammates with Anthony Bruno, who will pilot the No. 19 entry for the team. The pairing is expected to bring a strong mix of experience, competitiveness, and teamwork to the WMR field.

Nicholas began racing at just six years old and has built an impressive resume over the years. In recent seasons, he has continued to sharpen his skills competing in micro sprint and late model racing.

The primary focus for the 2026 season will be running the full WMR schedule. In addition, Nicholas plans to compete in select micro sprint and late model events on off weekends to stay sharp and gain additional seat time.

With a strong team, a proven background, and a full season ahead, Nicholas Leonard Jr. is eager to take the next step in his racing career and make an impact in Western Midget Racing.

Wanted to thank the entire Tony Boscacci Racing Team for giving us an opportunity to run a WMR Midget for the first time this past weekend in Ventura, CA. We were able to turn a few laps before having an electrical issue with the car. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get it fixed in time for the main event. Definitely learned a little, had some fun and hope to get another opportunity again in the future.

Thank you to all my sponsors, friends and family who support me along the way.

Honored to be participating in the Race For Research fundraiser at Tachi Palace Casino Resort and race this weekend at Lemoore Jet Bowl , for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!

A little bit of a late post. Nonetheless, we had a blast cohosting the annual OK Corral Show & Shine Shootout car show in Pioneer this past Saturday. The cars and bikes were 🔥 and the location can’t be beat. We loved seeing our sponsors, family, friends, and the great people of Pioneer attend and enjoy the day with us. We are extremely grateful for your support for the OK Corral and Nicholas. Thank you to Eric and his team for the excellent prime rib dinner. It was a sell out! Thank you to everyone who donated, with a special thank you to @kpr_racin for the amazing raffle baskets. We hope to see everyone next year! #ericsokcorral #nicholasjrracing #njr #latemodel #stockcar #kprracing #kpr #microsprint #microsprintracing #pioneer #carshow #amadorcounty #spgracing #gowenracing #ftp
