October 31, 2005 - Cory Kruseman and Jerry Coons
Jr. topped the charts over the weekend of drivers earning Earl's Fast Qualifying
points in USAC racing events. Kruseman was the fastest qualifier for the
Valvoline USAC/CRA Sprint race at Ventura, Calif. Saturday, while Coons topped
the qualifying at the Western Midget race at USA Race Park in Phoenix, Ariz.
Damion Gardner continues to pace the CRA FQ points, extending his record point
total to 215 with a second-fast qualifying effort at Ventura. Western Midget
series runner-up Jerome Rodela stands atop that series' Earl's standings after
his fourth-place qualifying effort at Tucson.
Earl's points will be up for grabs this Thursday and Friday as the Budweiser
Oval Nationals unfolds for the National and CRA Sprint Car Series at Perris
(Calif.) Speedway. There is no qualifying Saturday.
Points are awarded at each USAC event based on an international system awarding
the top-six qualifiers with points in the following scale: 1st-9, 2nd-6, 3rd-4,
4th-3, 5th-2, 6th-1. When qualifying is not held for Ford Focus events, points
are awarded based on a system of lineup points earned in the preliminary heats.
Each USAC National, Western and Ford Focus Midget Car Earl's Plumbing FQ
Champion will be honored at USAC's Champions Night ceremony in Indianapolis. The
National and Western FQ champs will receive $5,000 each, while the Ford Focus FQ
