It's a Cowboy Thing…
Lakewood, CA – Southern California sprint car fans and the "Jones Nation" are expected to turn out this Saturday to honor last year's Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Champion Tony Jones of Norco. Lakewood's Zanzabuku Sports Lounge will be hosting the event for the second consecutive year.
Plans include a Taco Bar and Mexican food provided by team sponsor the La Villa Mexican Restaurant in Gardenia, a 50/50 draw, videos provided by SCRAFAN.com's Lance Jennings and Jeff Christensen of RacewayVideo.com, a raffle featuring many race related items and the official unveiling of a wall at the bar dedicated to Jones and the Alexander race team. In addition the championship Alexander Sprint Car will be parked in front of the bar for fans to get a close look at a car built strictly for racing.
The Mark Alexander Sprinter features a DRC Chassis and a 410 c.i. racing engine from J&D Performance. Both are located in Indiana. In addition to the Zanzabuku and the La Villa Mexican Restaurant other team sponsors include Ferreira Dairy, Communication Innovations of Riverside, Larry Murakami Contracting, Big John and Scotty, Lowenstein Scrap Metal, Extreme Mufflers, VP Racing Fuels, Berdoo Auto Body in San Bernardino, SCRAFAN.Com, So-Cal Performance, Sander Engineering, Garnica Trucking, Ray's Trucking, The Naylors, Bondio Fabrication, Anchor's Away Travel, "Mom" & Lori Jennings, Barnes Systems, Inc., GC Flexible Circuitry, Ron Davis Racing Products, JE Pistons and K&N Filters.

Jones won five main events last year in the competitive Lucas Oil USAC/CRA series.
