LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS TO CLOSE THEIR SEASON AT BUDWEISER OVAL NATIONALS!

(OCTOBER 26, 2009, PERRIS, CA) The Southern California based California Lightning Sprint Car Series will close its season at the 14^th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway. The popular group will run three heat races on Friday, November 6^th and a 20 lap main event on Saturday, November 7^th.

"The Lightning Sprint Cars have been producing top flight drivers to the West Coast 410 series' for years," PAS promoter Don Kazarian said. "Currently, four of the top 16 drivers in USAC/CRA points first raced at The PAS in Lightning Sprint Cars. Tyler Brown who is 16^th, Greg Bragg who is sixth and the two guys fighting for the USAC/CRA championship, Mike Spencer and David Cardey, all began their PAS careers in Lightning Sprint Cars. A few of the guys who will be racing Lightning's at the Oval Nationals will soon be regulars with USAC/CRA as well."

Kazarian went on to talk about how competitive the series has been in 2009. "The Lightning Sprint Cars are completing their most competitive season ever at The PAS. You never knew who was going to win the main event this year. There were a lot of surprises and lots of great racing."

The Budweiser Oval Nationals is three nights of intense, full points paying races for the USAC National Sprint Car Series and the USAC/CRA Series. The Thursday and Friday preliminary nights will include qualifying, heat races, preliminary and A main events. The Oval Nationals will culminate on Saturday the 7^th with the final main events of the weekend including the 40-lap Oval Nationals Championship A Main.

Hopefully this means that the Glen Howard race on Nov. 28 will be a Sprint Car only show.

Perris can always figure a way to screw things up! It sure would be nice to to go to a race track someplace, to see sprint cars race, and not have to watch other junk. Oh well just more time to BS with friends.
