September 19, 2005...This weekend's "4-Crown Nationals" at Tony
Stewart's Eldora Speedway will have a profound effect on the 2005 Earl's Fast
Qualifier Championships, with valuable points available for three series. The
event will conclude the battle for the Earl's title in the USAC Weld Racing
Silver Crown Series. Dave Steele leads the Silver Crown Earl's points by two over Josh Wise, while Jay Drake and Levi Jones are tied in the USAC National Sprint Car Earl's standings, and Michael Lewis leads Wise by two points in the National Midget Earl's points. In last week's USAC action, Rickie Gaunt posted the fastest qualifying time for the Valvoline USAC/CRA event at Perris, Calif. Earl's points are again available in this Saturday's CRA race at Phoenix, Ariz. Other events this weekend offering Earl's points are the Western Midget and Ford Focus races at San Bernardino, Calif. Saturday and Saturday's Midwest Focus race at Lakeville, Ohio.

When qualifying is not held for Ford Focus events, points are awarded based on a system of lineup points earned in the preliminary heats.
