October 17, 2005...This Saturday night's race at the
Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway will serve as a final tuneup for Valvoline
USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series participants prior to the Nov. 3-5 "Budweiser
Oval Nationals" at the 1/2-mile dirt track.
Damion
Gardner, Rip Williams and Cory Kruseman will be competing for valuable points
toward the 2005 USAC/CRA championship, separated by only 94 points with eight
races remaining in the series. Gardner is 90 ahead of Williams and Kruseman
trails Williams by just four.
Amazingly, those three drivers have accounted for 15 victories in the 16 races
held so far this year at The PAS! Gardner has won eight, Kruseman has won five
and Williams two. Rickie Gaunt is the only other driver to visit Perris' victory
lane in 2005.
Equally
amazing is the fact that the three point leaders have never "swept"
the podium with a 1-2-3 finish this season at Perris.
The
Nov. 3-5 races will afford points toward both the Valvoline National and CRA
Sprint Car championships.
