(SEPTEMBER
28, 2005, PERRIS, CA) Southern
California open wheel veterans Wally Pankratz and Steve Ostling will be among
the entries when Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply presents the Valvoline
USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night.
Pankratz
will be back in one of John Jorys cars as a teammate to series point leader
Rip Williams. Two weeks ago the
crafty veteran, who had not driven a sprint car at The PAS in several years, was
11th fast qualifier with a 16:842.
That was not far off teammate Williams time (7th fast) of
16:803 or fast qualifier Rickie Gaunts 16:512.
In racing action on the night, the Orange, California resident missed the
transfer spot in his heat race by one position and dropped out of the B main. Last
Saturday night Pankratz was second fast qualifier and finished eighth in the
USAC Western Midget main event at the Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino,
California. Corona,
Californias Ostling will be driving Harlan Willis black #45 sprint car on
Saturday and at the 10th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals at The PAS
in November. Ostling scored one of
the biggest wins of his career in November of 2002 when he captured the Annual
Jack Kindoll Classic at The PAS. Willis
has scored countless wins as a car owner at The PAS and his car dominated the
action there in 2001 with 12 SCRA main event wins with Cory Kruseman behind the
wheel. Ostlings
last appearance at The PAS was on September 3rd when he finished 6th
in the 50 lap main event driving the Buzz Shoemaker & Sons #0.
