2011 USAC/CRA SPRINT CAR SEASON AT A GLANCE
SEPTEMBER 28, 2011... As this writing goes to press, the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars have competed in fifteen events at seven different tracks in 2011. Eight different drivers have claimed victory at California facilities of Perris Auto Speedway, Hanford's Giant Chevrolet Kings Speedway, Watsonville's Ocean Speedway, Santa Maria Speedway, Calistoga Speedway, Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway, and Victorville Raceway Park.
The average car count is 29, with a series high of 49 at Chico's "Tiner Family Classic," a co-sanctioned event with the USAC Western Racing Classic Series.
There are seven dates remaining on the schedule, with six co-sanctioned with the USAC National Sprint Car Series. The next event is the Southern California Fair Race at Perris on October 8th, where 3-time defending champion Mike Spencer has a thirty point lead over Matt Mitchell. Nic Faas is third in the standings and trails Mitchell by nine points.
Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Arizona will host the 2-day Hall of Fame Classic starting on October 28th. The 3-day 16th Annual Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway is next on the schedule, beginning on November 3rd. The traditional 410 sprints will travel to Hanford on November 12th, where a champion will be crowned at "The Finals."
