FOURTH HEAT: (10 laps) 1. Rutherford, 2. Davis, 3. Bernal, 4. Pelkey, 5. Faria, 6. Curtis, 7. Guardino. 2:59.13

Heat Three winner Mike Spencer -- who won the CRA title five years in a row (2008 through 2012) -- is in the Preistley #7 chauffered in the past by Troy Rutherford and Cory Kruseman. He's a former Oval Nationals winner. His last feature win in USAC CRA was at Watsonville CA June 27th. 

FIFTH HEAT: (10 laps) 1. Thomas, 2. Bell, 3. Deskins, 4. J.Vander Weerd, 5. Bender, 6. Taylor, 7. Morris. 2:59.20

Heat Four winner Troy Rutherford was the Ventura Racing Association 360 sprint car champion in 2010. 

Heat Five winner Kevin Thomas Jr. had a run of nine straight top ten finishes in USAC National and USAC CRA 410 sprints including a second to Damion Gardner at Perris August 16th.

SIXTH HEAT: (10 laps) 1. Clauson, 2. Hagen, 3. Stanbrough, 4. Henry, 5. Everhart, 6. Ennis, 7. Grosenheider. 2:58.34

Does Bryan Clauson need an introduction? Or Darren Hagen? Or Jon Stanbrough? (Have the three of them combined won more than a hundred features? Quite possibly.) (The answer is "I was waaaaaaaaaaay short." Clauson came into 2014 with 65 feature wins and has since added five more in 2014 that I was able to find quickly. And Stanbrough has more than 180 feature wins.)  

FIRST SEMI: (12 laps) 1. Mitchell, 2. Copeland, 3. Curtis, 4. J.Vander Weerd, 5. Ennis, 6. Hendrix, 7. Everhart, 8. Majors, 9. Morris, 10. Guardino, 11. Ercse, 12. Schwarz, 13. Sibley, 14. Tafoya. NT

First Semi winner Matt Mitchell is the current USAC West Coast 360 point leader. He has only one feature win this year at Watsonville CA, August 8th, but has a pile of top ten finishes, not having been =out= of the top nine since at least June.  

SECOND SEMI: (10 laps) 1. Faria, 2. Hurst, 3. Henry, 4. Pelkey, 5. Adams, 6. Williams, 7. Bender, 8. Edwards, 9. Smith, 10. Schank, 11. Collins, 12. Taylor, 13. Grosenheider. 3:40.66

Second Semi winner Danny Faria Jr. was the 2013 USAC West Coast 360 champion (over his then team mate Bud Kaeding). He also scored a USAC CRA 410 win at Hanford in 2012. (You know you're from Tipton if one of your two major sponsors is Johnston Calf Pens.)
