NEW USAC WEST COAST SPRINT POINTS:

NEXT USAC WEST COAST SPRINT RACE: September 7 – Bakersfield (CA) Speedway

Faria all the way after two reds and (what?) four yellows, with Jace Vander Weerd in pursuit much of the way to 2nd, Rich V. coming from well back to 3rd, Bud from mid-pack to 4th, Marty Hawkins from 9th to 5th, Ryan Bernal from Pluto to 6th after appearing to have been knocked around (and forced to the back on the restart) by someone (Bud?) on lap 24, Tom Hendricks to 7th from mid-pack, and Kevin Barnes to 8th from well back...... 

Faria was chased by Liggett in the early laps but had enough chill going to save his tires while being able to go pretty much anywhere he wanted to keep Ligget and then Vander Weerd behind him at all times. A good crowd on a very warm afternoon and early evening. Danny gave surfnsprint a nice plug at the end; what was that about? Hahaha.
