APRIL 16, 2007 --- No USAC racing
series in 52 years has opened with a dozen different feature winners. That
possibility exists April 28 when the Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series
continues at the Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway.
Danny Sheridan of Santa Maria, Calif.
became the 11th different USAC/CRA winner this year by winning Saturday’s
30-lap race at The PAS. He joins Darren Hagen, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Garrett
Hansen, Mike Spencer, Tony Jones, Josh Wise, Charles Davis Jr., R.J. Johnson,
Cory Kruseman and Scotty Weir in tying the 1994 record established in the USAC
Modified Series. They surpassed the 10 different winners at the start of the
1956, 1960 and 1977 National Midget Series.
Sheridan ranks third in the new series
points after passing defending series champion Cory Kruseman on lap 28 and
leading the last three laps in his Kittle Plumbing/Aero Camino Pipe & Supply
Stinger. David Cardey, who could be the 12th different winner April 28, finished
second ahead of series point leader Tony Jones, R.J. Johnson and Dave Darland.
Jones’ lead over Mike Spencer stands
at 94 points going into the April 28 race.
