 Press Release

Races for April 17, 2004

( April 2, 2004 - VENTURA, CA )  Ventura Raceway returns to action on Saturday night April 17, at 5:00pm with the return of one of its all time favorite classes, United State Auto Club (USAC) full midgets.  The Ventura County Seaside Park Facility has not seen full midget racing for five years and Saturday night’s event is eagerly anticipated by open wheel fans throughout Southern California .  In addition to the USAC Midgets, VRA 360 Sprints, and VRA Pony Stocks will invade  the 1/5 mile Ventura Raceway bullring.  All the top drivers in each class will be there to keep the fans on the edge of their seats from the opening heat race until the final Main Event is completed.

USAC Midgets have been the stepping stone to success for such current star racers as Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Kasey Khane, Jason Leffler, Mike Bliss, Sleepy Tripp, Billy Boat and several other drivers who now lead NASCAR and other racing series. Most of these drivers raced at Ventura in the glory days of west coast midget racing in the 1990s.  Now a resurgence of midget racing is about to take off.  Ventura Raceway is proud to be a part of this.  As an additional entry, Cory Kruseman, the 2004 Chili Bowl champion, will be here to drive the Andy Bondio entry, if schedule conflicts can be worked out.

VRA Sprint Cars are back from a one-week absence after their event of April 3, when Will” the Thrill” Perkins took his first win of 2004. He will be back to go for two in a row over a stellar field of VRA Sprint Car drivers led by point leader Tom Stansberry, three time winner in 2004 Chris Tramel, Steve Conrad, Kevin Kierce, Chris Wakim, and all the other VRA Drivers that make this series one of the top 360 sprint car series in the US. These drivers will be going for the glory in the 30-lap feature event.

VRA Pony Stocks are back again this weekend to run their fourth event of 2004.  Last race Andrew Greiman took the win over teammate David Peterson to get his first win of 2004 and he will be going for two in a row this Saturday. He will be going up against a full field of VRA Pony Stock drivers who have only one thing in mind, don’t let Greiman get two on a row.

Racing gets under way with warm-ups and midget qualifying at 4:00pm with racing starting at 5:00pm.  Admission prices for this exciting night of short track racing are: Adults: $14.00, Senior/Military $11.00, Juniors and kids 12 and under free.  For more information, please call Ventura Raceway’s office M-F from 8:00am-6:00pm .
