MARCH 19, 2007 --- The USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris
(Calif.) Auto Speedway Saturday night. The eighth race in this year’s series
could produce an eighth different feature winner!
Charles Davis Jr. of Buckeye, Ariz. became the seventh different winner this
year, leading the final 28 laps of Saturday’s 30-lap race at Manzanita
Speedway in Phoenix, Ariz. Davis passed early leader Darren Hagen on lap three
and led the rest of the way in his Massey’s Truck & Tank Repair/Arizona
Race Mart DRC/Wesmar.
Series point leader Tony Jones finished second at Phoenix and now leads
runnerup and Phoenix fast qualifier Mike Spencer by 45 points going into this
Saturday’s race at The PAS. Hagen, Rickie Gaunt and Jesse Hockett rounded out
the “top-five.”
The past five Perris races have produced five different winners, including
Jones, who scored eight victories there last year. Actually, dating back to last
year, the last nine USAC/CRA features have produced different winners.
