| This Saturday At Ventura Raceway |
|
( After two great nights of racing so far in 2007, Ventura
Raceway is back Saturday night with four adult classes and two kids classes of
racing action for your entertainment. Featured
tonight will be VRA Sprints, VRA Dwarf Cars, VRA Sport Compacts, IMCA Modifieds,
Mini Dwarf Cars and Junior Midgets. VRA Sprint Cars have had two exceptional nights of racing
with side by side racing being the rule. Opening night’s winner Kevin Kierce
jumped out to a lead last week only to have eventual winner Cory Kruseman
get by him to take the win. Kierce fell
victim to bad luck as he moved through the field.
He got together with another car and fell to ninth finishing position.
2006 VRA champion Luis Espinoza continued his defense of his championship
by taking another second place finish. This finish places him in the 2007 points
lead going into Saturday night’s racing action.
Other top finishes were scored by Dennis Rodriguez in third, John Nock
getting his all time best finish in fourth and Wes Richardson getting his second
straight fifth place finish for the season.
All these VRA drivers and other top VRA drivers will be here Saturday to
continue the 2007 series. Also back Saturday are the popular VRA Dwarf Cars.
Racing in two divisions, Seniors and Pros,
these two classes put on some exciting racing in their small, high powered
racers. Opening night saw division
wins go to Jim Scribellito in Pros and Ed Niedzwiecki
in Seniors. Saturday
night’s racing action will continue with the best in VRA Dwarf Car drivers
returning to challenge the opening night victors. IMCA Modifieds return Saturday
after an opening night on March 10, that saw 19 cars
in the pits. The racing action was
exciting from the opening heats to the final lap of their Main Event.
Opening night winner Steve Smith will be back to defend his win against
the best IMCA has to offer. Randy
McGraw, Brad Prows, Rick Rodarte, Bill Waltman
Joe Weaver and many others will try to get their first 2007 IMCA win Saturday. Our Final adult class for Saturday night will be the Sport
Compact Class. This class that was
called Pony Stocks in the past opened their season last week with a convincing
win by Greg Raap in his front wheel drive, number 01
Integra. He held off Joel Chavez,
in another Integra, to take the first win of the new season in this class.
The winning streak for front wheel drive cars also continued last week.
2006 series champion Jack Hoyt was the highest finishing rear wheel drive
car, finishing fourth in the number 11 owned by Andrew Greiman. The final groups racing Saturday night will be our three
kids divisions. Mini Dwarfs and
Junior Midgets opened two weeks ago on March 10, with wins going to Christian
Copley in Junior Midgets, Ricky Lewis in the Mini Dwarf 5-8 Division and Chase Lippert
in the 9-11 Division. These growing
classes are an indication that the future of racing is strong in Pit Gates open at |
