PAS THIS WEEK’S FOCUS, BUT SPRINT EYES ALSO TURNED TO TULARE WITH NATIONAL TITLE TO BE DETERMINED AT “PACIFIC COAST NATIONALS”

Numerous drivers participating in the “Budweiser Oval Nationals” at Perris Auto Speedway tonight, Friday and Saturday also have their sights set on next week’s big “Pacific Coast Nationals” at the Tulare (Calif.) Thunderbowl Raceway. The USAC National Sprint Car Champion will be crowned on Sunday night, November 15, following Saturday and Sunday competition at the third-mile dirt oval as USAC’s “Gold Rush Tour” continues.

Levi Jones, Dave Darland, Cole Whitt and Jerry Coons Jr. are the primary title contenders entering tonight’s action at Perris. Jones’ lead is only 27 over Darland, with Whitt 106 back and Coons 203 in arrears. A total of 212 points are available at Perris during the next three nights of racing.

The “Pacific Coast Nationals,” a salute to the Agajanian Family, is being revived after a 14-year hiatus. This year’s running is the 30th and Rip Williams of Yorba Linda, Calif. will be the only former champion in the field. He won the race in 1990 at Ascot Park in Gardena, Calif. Past winners of the event, which has experienced format and headlining division changes, include Jim Wood (1962), Jim Cox (1963), Marshall Sargent (1964), Dick Fries (1965), Bobby Adamson (1967), Bob Hogle (1968), Gene Brown (1972), Rick Ferkel (1973), Clark Templeman (1974), Ron Shuman (1976, 1977, 1983 and 1994), Buster Venard (1978), Dean Thompson (1979, 1980, 1982 and 1985), Sammy Swindell (1981), Bubby Jones (1984), Brad Doty (1986), Steve Kinser (1987 and 1988), Brad Noffsinger (1989), Rip Williams (1990) and Mike Kirby (1995).

Cory Kruseman won the 2007 USAC/CRA race at Tulare and is excited about the Pacific Coast Nationals. “It’s about damn time,” he says, referring to the revival of the Pacific Coast Nationals. “I can’t think of a better place to do this. It’s one of my favorite tracks. It’s a nice facility, where the promoter cares about the people and he always comes around to thank you for being there. The surface stays good and you can drive the track in the old west style – “drive it in hard and back it in.”

The winner of Sunday’s “twilight” feature will earn a paycheck of $12,500, while minimum feature-start money is $700. Saturday night’s standard USAC/CRA purse offers $4,000-to-win.

USAC has been to the Tulare Fairgrounds five times, but only once before with Sprint Cars. The “Pacific Coast Nationals” will offer points toward both the USAC National and Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint championships. The USAC/CRA series concludes November 28 at Perris.

Race organizer Steve Faria is excited about the “Pacific Coast Nationals” finding a home at his track. “We are honored to host the event,” he said. “Non-wing racing has a bright future here and with Kevin Miller’s leadership and perspectives I think USAC is headed in the right direction. This event will be good for California and we were really disappointed following last year’s USAC rainout.” Thunderbowl Raceway derived its name from a track which operated in the 1940s on the south side of Tulare but was disbanded. Steve and his staff reconfigured the track in 1993, then expanded it in the late-1990s, but auto racing on the grounds actually dates back to right after the second World War.

The first USAC appearance at Tulare in 1988 saw P.J. Jones victorious in a Midget race. The following year, Robby Flock and Sleepy Tripp won USAC Midget races there and Wiley Miller won a USAC TQ Midget feature.

The scheduling of the Tulare program for Saturday and Sunday allows ample time for travel for USAC teams participating in Thursday’s (Nov. 12) “Copper World Classic” Silver Crown and Midget races at Phoenix (Ariz.) International Raceway.

PERRIS, TULARE CONCLUDE 2009 NATIONAL SPRINT CAMPAIGN; 27 POINTS SEPARATE JONES & DARLAND

The USAC National Sprint Car Series concludes its 2009 campaign with major back-to-back events in California and drivers Levi Jones and Dave Darland are separated by only 27 points with a total of over 350 points still available.

The 14th “Budweiser Oval Nationals” are scheduled November 5-7 at Perris Auto Speedway and the 30th “Pacific Coast Nationals” (a salute to the Agajanian Family) unfolds November 14-15 at the Tulare Thunderbowl.

Jesse Hockett of Warsaw, Mo. is the defending winner of the “Budweiser Oval Nationals,” while Mike Kirby won the last “Pacific Coast Nationals” feature in 1995!

Rip Williams of Yorba Linda, Calif. is the only driver to have won both events. He won the “Pacific Coast Nationals” in 1990 and 1993 and the “Budweiser Oval Nationals” in 1997.

While Levi Jones has never won either race, Darland owns victories in the 2005 and 2006 Perris classic. Other active “Budweiser Oval Nationals” champions include Rodney Argo (1998), Rickie Gaunt (1999), Tony Jones (2000), Cory Kruseman (2003 & 2004) and three-time champion Bud Kaeding (2001, 2002 and 2007).

The upcoming “Budweiser Oval Nationals” offers $12,500 to win and 25-lap features are slated Thursday and Friday, with a big 40-lap feature on tap Saturday. A practice session on Wednesday is also open free to the race fans and a special on-track autograph session is planned on Saturday prior to the final events.

Defending Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Champion and 2009 point leader Mike Spencer of Temecula, Calif. has won the last two races at Perris and owns nine Perris victories since the USAC/CRA series debuted in 2004. He finished 10th in last year’s “Budweiser Oval Nationals” main event.

USAC/CRA Champions Tony Jones and Cory Kruseman and own 2009 Perris victories, as do Rickie Gaunt, David Cardey and Blake Miller, so the list of possible “Budweiser Oval Nationals” winner is a lengthy one. Gaunt’s win came in the National/CRA feature held at the PAS in February.

With five races remaining in the 2009 USAC National Sprint season, Jones and Darland must keep an eye on Cole Whitt, Jerry Coons Jr. and Tracy Hines, who round out the “top-five” in the latest standings. Whitt is the only driver to score back-to-back dirt wins this season, while Coons has already added to his team’s (Dynamics, Inc.) all-time USAC leading total of National wins with #72 and #73 on the dirt this year. Hines is still seeking his first dirt win this year after a pair of wins on the pavement.

USAC SPRINTS KICK OFF 2010 AT EAST BAY RACEWAY; FIRST USAC DIRT SPRINT RACES IN FLORIDA SINCE 1987

The 2010 USAC National racing season will start in the Sunshine State with the announcement today of the February 8-9-10 non-wing 410-c.i. USAC National Sprint Car races at East Bay Raceway Park near Tampa, Fla. It’s part of East Bay’s big six-night February slate which also includes the All Star Sprint Car Series, which competes at the track February 11-12-13.

Located in Gibsonton, the 1/3-mile clay oval has been a hotbed of Sprint racing in recent years but the February races mark the debut of USAC Sprint racing at the track. The only previous USAC appearance at the facility was in 2006 when Ryan Smith and Mike Ward won Ford Focus races at East Bay.

Florida actually hosted the second outdoor race in USAC history, a February 5, 1956 Sprint race at Southland Speedway in West Palm Beach won by Bob Sweikert, who had won the previous year’s Indianapolis 500. Subsequent USAC Sprint races were held the following weekends at Jacksonville and Miami, with Chuck Weyant and Pat O’Connor taking home the trophies. It would be 14 years before USAC Sprint racing returned to Florida, Larry Dickson winning a pair of races at Miami’s Hollywood Speedway.

In 1987 Rich Vogler won the only USAC dirt-track Sprint race ever in Florida, a 30-lapper at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

“We are truly excited about bringing our product back to the Sunshine State,” says USAC President/CEO Kevin Miller. “We’ve had tremendous success with events there through the years and this opportunity presents a great destination for our participants during the Midwestern winter. We hope this will be the first of many annual trips to the Southeast.”

“I remember several Florida trips and how much they were valued by the USAC family,” adds USAC VP/Race Operations Jason Smith. The state has a great motorsports fan base and all of us are excited about this new venue.”

“USAC has long been recognized as a leader in the field of motorsports entertainment,” says East Bay race organizer Al Varnadore, “and we are pleased to be part of their 2010 calendar of events. Their brand of racing is universally recognized as professional and extremely competitive and these February races should be fan favorites.”

The February 8-9-10 dates fall during the annual “Speed Weeks” in Florida leading up to the February 14 Daytona 500. Support classes for the three-night racing program are yet to be announced.
