APRIL 19, 2004...Michael Lewis of Noblesville, Ind. is the defending
champion of the USAC Western Sprint Car Series, which kicks off its 2004
calendar of events as part of a "doubleheader' program this Saturday at the
Madera (Calif.) Speedway. Lewis currently leads the USAC Western Midget Car standings after winning the April 10 "Fred Gerhardt Open Wheel Classic" at the 1/3-mile paved Madera oval. Saturday's racing program, which also features the USAC California Ford Focus North Midget Car Series, will conclude with a 25-lap Ford Focus and 40-lap Sprint Car feature. USAC Sprint Car feature winners at Madera in 2003 included Tony Stewart, Shauna Hogg and Tony Hunt. Hunt is a former series champion, while Hogg's win last year was the first by a female in the series history! Lewis won six USAC Western Sprint Car features on his way to the 2004 title and co-"Rookie of the Year" honors. In three Madera starts in 2004 his best finish was a fourth. |
