FEBRUARY 28, 2005...Mike Kirby of
Torrance, Calif. and Charles Davis, Jr. of
Phoenix, Ariz. are tied for the point lead entering this Saturday night's
Valvoline USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series event at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway.
Kirby
was the last CRA Champion (1993) prior to the series' revival last year under
USAC sanction. Davis has never won a USAC title but won a USAC Sprint Car
"special event" in Hawaii last November.
Separating the two are seven feature victories in USAC/CRA competition, Kirby
having won seven times last year, while Davis is still seeking his first series
win.
Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply present this year's Perris USAC/CRA events and
Saturday night's racing program starts with practice at 6 pm. The feature will
be 30 laps on the 1/2-mile dirt oval.
Defending Valvoline USAC/CRA Champion Rip Williams and runner-up Damion Gardner
also bear watching Saturday. Williams will continues his search for a 100th
career sprint car triumph while Gardner will try to repeat the victory he posted
at Perris February 5.
