For Immediate Release 

CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINTS HEAD TO VENTURA ON SATURDAY! 

(Torrance, CA, March 30, 2016) This Saturday night, April 2nd, the California Lightning Sprint Car Series will contest round #3 of its 2016 championship series at Jim Naylor’s Ventura Raceway.  Joining the CLS at the beach side oval will be the VRA Sprint Cars, Dwarf Cars and Hobby Stocks.  Spectator gates will open at 3:00 PM and racing will get underway at 5:30. 

Third year CLS competitor James Heling of San Bernardino has parlayed a pair of third place finishes in the first two races of 2016 into the point lead heading into the race at the track that has affectionately been called “The Commotion by the Ocean” for nearly four decades.  Three-time series champ Bobby Michnowicz of Lomita, who swept the show at Bakersfield two weeks ago, is six points behind Heling.  Upland’s Alex Grigoreas, who won the season opener at El Centro on March 5th, is third in the championship standings and trails the leader by 17-points.  Corona’s Darren Hillberg and Pat Kelley of Chino, the 2015 “Rookie of the Year,” round out the top five and are breathing down Grigoreas’ neck. 

Saturday’s Ventura race will be the first of eight in 2016 at the track the CLS now calls home.  The second race at the track on the Ventura County Fairgrounds will be on May 14th.  Between this Saturday and that date the CLS will race two times.  The first will be at the Santa Maria Raceway on April 16th and the second date will at the Bakersfield Speedway on April 30th.
