For Immediate Release

From: Ventura Raceway

(Oxnard, CA 11-14-06) Ventura Raceway will be holding a special conclusion to their 2006 season this Saturday night November 18 at 5:30pm. On that night two classes of racing will be featured that will keep the fans in attendance on the edge of their seats from the opening heats to the final lap of the final feature event. VRA Sprints and USAC National Ford Focus Midgets will be racing in this final event at Ventura for the 2006 season.

Saturday night Ventura Raceway will crown its 2006 VRA 360 Sprint Car Series Champion, as they hold their last event of the year. Current point leader Luis Espinoza will be going for his first VRA Championship in his number 09 sprint car. He will be trying to hold off his closest challenger, Greg Taylor, who has been closing in on him for the past month and now trails by 700 points with 1050 points available on Saturday night. Greg Taylor can catch Espinoza if he has a top finish and Luis does not make the main event or finishes at the bottom of the main event finishing order. If Espinoza makes the main event and finishes 14th or better, he will clinch regardless of what Taylor does on Saturday night. Drivers throughout the points standings will also be trying to improve their final point's positions leading up to our awards banquet to be held early in 2007.

The second part of the program Saturday night will be round one of the USAC National Ford Focus Midget Championships. This race will determine the dirt track portion of the championship. The pavement portion will be determined at Irwindale Speedway on November 23 as a part of the Turkey Night Grand Prix event. The results from the two-races will then be combined to determine who will be the 2006 USAC National Ford Focus Champion. Drivers from all over the United States have been invited to this special event. California Dirt Champion Bobby Michnowicz will lead the Western contingent in this event. To be eligible for the National Championship drivers must compete in both of the series races here and at Irwindale Speedway. Both events feature 50 lap main events.

Saturday night Ventura Raceway concludes another season of great racing. Once again we want to thank the fans, teams, drivers and track personnel who have made 2006 a successful year. We will be back for our 30th season in 2007 with more exciting short track racing action that you will want to be a part of. Our schedule for next year will be out soon after the first of the year. It will include all your favorite classes and maybe a few surprises. Be sure to keep an eye out for it on our webpage, venturaraceway.com.

Front gates open at 3:30pm. Cars will take to the track at 4:00 PM to warm up and practice. Racing gets under way at 5:30pm. Admission prices are $14.00 for adults, $11.00 for Seniors/Military/ and Juniors with a photo ID, Kids 7-12 are $5.00 and kids 6 and under are free.
