(JANUARY 6, 2005 Fair Oaks, CA) … The United
States Auto Club is putting the finishing touches on the 2005 California Racing
Association sprint car calendar. Presently 39 dates make up the 2005 USAC-CRA
racing schedule, highlighted by the Perris Oval Nationals which will take place
November 3-5 at the "home track" for the traveling non-wing dirt
series. Perris Auto Speedway (The PAS) will host 22 races this season beginning
with a day show on Saturday February 5th, 2005.
The prestigious Western World Championship at Manzanita Speedway is a huge part
of seven dates contested in the Phoenix, Arizona market. Ventura Raceway at
Seaside Park will allow race fans to breathe maritime air and watch sprint cars
on the tight 1/5-mile bullring on three 2005 occasions.
Skagit Speedway returns to the USAC-CRA slate with two dates in the Great
Northwest. The Alger, Washington racetrack has been reconfigured for 2005 to
produce better racing for the 800 horsepower sprinters. Additional efforts are
being made at press time to add two dates that would take place during the
USAC-CRA series Northwest Tour.
Kings Speedway in Hanford, CA. has two USAC-CRA races. The 'King of the Dirt
Tracks' will host Rip Williams, Damion Gardner, Mike Kirby, Cory Kruseman, and
the rest of the USAC CRA stars on June 4th, and August 13th respectively.
A new venue in 2005 will be the Santa Maria Speedway. Located along the central
coast of California, the fast, high-banked 1/3 mile track has long been a
favorite of Western race fans. Santa Maria will be the site of two summer dates,
allowing teams a chance to cool off near the Pacific Ocean. Bakersfield Speedway
in Oildale has a single date (March 12th).
The 2005 schedule opens early on January 29th at 'Manzy'. The Saturday night
race will compliment the USAC action taking place in the Copper World Classic at
Phoenix International Raceway.
