CSRA 360 Sprint cars came to Sacramento Raceway on May 7th for their first race at Sacramento for the 2004 series. It was a beautiful day under blue skies with a beautifully prepared ¼ mile clay track. 10 cars were present. There were 2 heat races, a trophy dash and a main event. Sam Fries was the main event winner. The race of the night happened to be the trophy dash where Scott Pierson was victorious for his first ever trophy dash win. Heat races were 5 cars.
Sam Fries was 1st place, Scott
Pierson 2nd and Jacob Serven 3rd in the first heat. In heat two Billy
Garcia, Don Emery, and Dave Emery Sr. finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd,
respectively. CSRA 360 sprint cars put on a spectacular trophy dash.
Scott Pierson in the front row along with Don Emery on the outside,
Sam Fries and Billy Garcia picking up the rear. During the second lap
in the trophy dash, Billy Garcia swerved and hit the back wall. Don
Emery made contact and a red flag came out. The resumption of the
race, with Emery and Garcia vacant, was Fries and Pierson proceeding
to put on the remainder of the trophy dash, trading positions in every
corner. Pierson leading, Fries passing, Pierson passing him back on
the final lap coming into the checkered flag, Fries bicycled high in
turn 3, Pierson pitched and dove low and brought home his first trophy
dash victory. Spectacular race.
During the 360 Sprint car main
event, Scott Pierson lined them up in the pole position, leading the
race for the first 16 circuits, Fries was second followed by Serven
and Garcia. Coming into lap traffic and bunched in turns 3 and 4,
Fries made contact with Pierson, yellow flag, Pierson returned to the
track after repairing a flat tire. Fries took over the lead. Pierson
made an exciting run from the rear of the field, with Sam Fries taking
the checkered flag for Sacramento’s first CSRA 360 feature event
followed by Billy Garcia, Jacob Serven, Dave Emery Sr., Mark Orr,
Scott Pierson, new comer Mike Enos, veteran Ed Zimmerman, and Tom Enos
of Sacramento. The main even was fast and furious. Doug Emery wasn’t
able to make the repairs for the main event. It was a spectacular
night of racing on the nicely prepared ¼ mile dirt oval. After the
races, all the drivers and crews expressed how much fun they had at
the track racing at Sacramento Raceway and being together with all
their friends and competitors. CSRA’s sprint cars are looking
forward to the next event, May 21st at Sacramento Raceway Park for the
3rd race of the CSRA 2004 point championship.
CSRA officials have noted that the
point’s fundraiser drive has already established $3000.00 towards
the championship fund. We’re looking forward to and hoping that the
competitors will soon join.
