For Immediate Release 

CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS AT VENTURA SATURDAY! 

(Torrance, CA, June 2, 2015)  The California Lightning Sprint Car Series is back on track for round #7 of 17 at the beautiful Ventura Raceway this Saturday, June 6th.  Joining the CLS for their second of four 2015 appearances at the beach side dirt oval will be the VRA Sprint Cars, Senior Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Dwarf Cars, Hobby Stocks, Junior Midgets and Mini Dwarfs.  Spectator gates will open at 3:00 PM with racing at 5:30. 

The first time the CLS visited the Jim Naylor promoted 1/5 of a mile dirt oval on April 11th, Kingsburg’s Doug Nunes won the main event over two time champion and current point leader Bobby Michnowicz of Lomita and Upland’s Alex Grigoreas.  Those three drivers are the only winners on the CLS circuit in 2015.  Michnowicz, who leads with three wins, scored the victory at the last race on Memorial weekend at Perris Auto Speedway.  His other two wins have come at El Centro and Bakersfield.  Nunes is next on the charts with a pair of wins.  In addition to his Ventura victory, he has also taken the checkered flag first at Bakersfield.  Grigoreas triumph, his first ever in a Lightning Sprint Car, came last month in Santa Maria. 

Michnowicz brings a bulging 111-point lead in the championship standings over Grigoreas going into Saturday’s race.  Fort Irwin’s Jeff Dyer is third and only trails ex-teammate Grigoreas by 17-points.  Placentia’s Dan Hillberg and James Heling of San Bernardino round out the top five. 

Chino’s Pat Kelley, who raced stock cars at Ascot, El Cajon, Mesa Marin and Saugus years ago, carries a slender 15-point advantage of Jon Robertson of Torrance in the fight for “Rookie of the Year.” 

After Saturday’s race at Ventura, the CLS will return to action on June 20th at Bakersfield and Perris Auto Speedway on July 4th.  The 22-year-old club will be back at the Ventura Raceway on July 18th and October 17th.
