August 29, 2005...The hotly-contested Valvoline/USAC
CRA Sprint Car Championship
continues this Saturday night with a big 50-lap feature slated at the Perris
(Calif.) Auto Speedway. The top two in the standings are separated by a mere 10
points!
Mike
Kirby of Torrance, Calif. held off point leaders Rip Williams and Damion Gardner
to win last Saturday's 30-lapper at the Santa Maria (Calif.) Speedway driving
the L.A. Prep/LaVilla Restaurant Stinger/RC. Gardner, who earlier in the evening
posted his 17th fast qualifying time of the season, finished second and Williams
was third ahead
of Rickie Gaunt and Rodney Argo.
The
finish left defending series titlist Williams holding a slim 10-point lead over
Gardner, with Kirby still third in the standings.
