August 5, 2007 – The Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to Santa
Maria (Calif.) Speedway Saturday night and it couldn’t come at a better time
for Mike Spencer of Temecula, Calif.
Spencer won at Santa Maria in June and scored his third victory of the season
Saturday night at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway. He ranks second in the current
USAC/CRA standings behind leader Tony Jones.
Spencer passed Rickie Gaunt on lap 10 and led the final 21 laps at Perris in
his Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply/Arizona Race Mart Maxim/Shaver to beat
Gaunt, Jones, Tyler Brown and Blake Miller.
Three drivers who rank in the “top-10” in USAC/CRA points are still
seeking their initial 2007 victories, namely Rickie Gaunt, Rip Williams and
David Cardey. All three have second-place feature finishes this year at the PAS.
