CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINTS BEGIN LAST MONTH OF 2016 SEASON AT VENTURA!

(Torrance, CA, September 28, 2016) The California Lightning Sprint Car Series will begin the final month of the 2016 campaign this Saturday night, October 1st, at the Ventura Raceway.  The VRA Sprint Cars, Senior Sprints, Dwarfs and IMCA Modifieds will join the CLS at the show.  Spectator gates will open at 3:00 with the first race at 5:30.

Three-time CLS champ Bobby Michnowicz heads into Saturday’s show at the picturesque ocean side oval on top of the points heap.  The 52-year-old Lomita based racing veteran took the lead from San Bernardino’s James Heling at the last race at the Bakersfield Speedway on September 17th.  Michnowicz is 15-points ahead of Heling in the championship chase.  Pat Kelley of Chino, who has been plagued with engine problems the last few races, is third and trails the leader by 57-markers.  Impressive rookie Cody Nigh of Camarillo is fourth and is 98-points off of the top spot.  Upland’s Alex Grigoreas, who is out for the year, is fifth.

Saturday’s event will be the sixth of eight for the CLS at Ventura in 2016.  The first five races have produced four different winners.  Michnowicz, with two victories, is the only repeat winner and he has won the last two in a row.  Grigoreas, Kelley and Victorville’s Jeff Dyer have also won at Ventura in 2016.

In the “Rookie of the Year” battle, Nigh continued to hold down the top spot over Lakewood teenagers Aiden Lange and Wyatt Downing.  Lange trails Nigh by 69-points.  Downing is 222-points behind the leader.

After Saturday, the last two races of the season will also take place at the Ventura Raceway on October 15th and 29th.
