SPENCER TAKES AIM AT JONES’ CRA LEAD AT LAS VEGAS;
NATIONAL DRIVERS EXPECTED TO SPICE FIELD
OCTOBER 22, 2007 --- Mike Spencer of Temecula, Calif. has sliced Tony Jones’ Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car point lead to 53 points going into this Saturday’s race at the Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Jones has led the standings since February, his lead extending at one time to 177 points.

Saturday’s race at Las Vegas is the first for the series at the 1/2-mile dirt oval and the first for USAC Sprints there since Tony Elliott won a National race in 1998.

The competitiveness of this year’s Lucas Oil USAC/CRA series is evident in the fact that only one of the “top-10” drivers in the current standings has failed to win a feature in 2007. Rickie Gaunt has three seconds and three thirds and has posted the fastest qualifying time seven times!

Expected to challenge the USAC/CRA regulars are many of the top National stars, since Saturday’s Las Vegas race will be closely followed by the Nov. 1-3 “Budweiser Oval Nationals” at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway and the Nov. 9-10 Checker Auto Parts/Budweiser/Parker Store “Western World Championships” at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, Ariz.
