JULY 30, 2007 --- The battle for the 2007 Lucas
Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Championship resumes this Saturday at the Perris
(Calif.) Auto Speedway and Tony Jones will try to protect his sizeable point
lead.
Jones had sprinted to a 177-point margin over
runner-up Mike Spencer prior to the recent "break" to allow the CRA
vets to compete in USAC's Lucas Oil "Indiana Sprint Week." Jones' four
CRA victories this season include three at the Perris oval.
Jones is hoping to become only the second driver to
win three consecutive USAC/CRA feature events. Damion Gardner actually won four
in a row in 2005, then came back to win another three in a row later that same
season.
