| This Weekend At Ventura Raceway |
|
(Oxnard, CA 6/6/06)
Ventura Raceway resumes its 2006 racing season this Saturday night with a
full program of open wheel and stock car racing at its Ventura County
Fairgrounds Facility in Ventura, CA. Four
adult classes and one junior Class will highlight the night’s racing action. Headlining the night will
be the Vra 360 Sprint Cars, led by season point’s leader Luis Espinoza, last
race winner Kevin Kierce, Greg Taylor, Troy Rutherford, Jimmy Crawford, Chris
Wakim and a host of other fine sprint car drivers.
This program will feature four heat races and a thirty lap main event.
Also on the agenda for
Saturday night are the USAC Midgets. These
high-powered racers always put on exciting racing whenever they come to Ventura.
On May 20, Robby Flock took the win at Ventura.
He will be back this Saturday night to go for another win against the
best that USAC has to offer. VRA/USAC Ford Focus
Midgets will also be on the racing card this weekend.
These self-starting midget racers are always crowd favorites as they race
around Ventura’s tight 1/5 mile oval. Bobby
Michnowicz was the winner the last time they visited Ventura on May 27.
He will be going for two in a row this weekend. Our final adult class for
this Saturday is the VRA Pony Stocks. This
is an entry-level class for
four cylinder American and foreign stock cars.
Jack Hoyt took the last win on May 27 and will be going for his third win
of the season Saturday night. So
far all the wins in this class have been by front wheel drive cars.
Can a rear wheel drive car win this weekend?
Only time will tell. The final class racing
this weekend will be the VRA Junior Focus racers.
The last time that these 13-16 year old racers raced, Justin Kierce took
his first VRA win. He will be here to go for two in a row Saturday. Front
gates open at 3:30pm. Pit gates open at 12 noon.
Admission prices are: Adults: $14.00, Seniors, Military and Juniors:
$11.00, Children 7-12: $5.00 and kids 6 and under free.
