For Immediate Release
TWO-TIME CHAMPION DAMION GARDNER ENTERS BUDWEISER OVAL NATIONALS!
(Perris, CA, August 21, 2015) The “World’s Fastest Sprint Car Driver,” Damion Gardner of Concord, California, has submitted his entry for the historic 20th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction at Perris Auto Speedway on November 12th, 13th and 14th. More than 50 of the nation’s top sprint car drivers are expected to vie for the event record purse of more than $120,000.00.
Gardner, who won his third USAC/CRA main event in a row and took over the series point lead last Saturday at The PAS, won the Oval Nationals in 2009 and 2011. A third win this November would tie “The Demon” with all-time leaders Bud Kaeding of Campbell, California and Lincoln, Indiana’s Dave Darland. As well as trying to win his third Oval Nationals, Gardner will be trying to put the wraps on his fourth USAC/CRA championship and the three races at the Oval Nationals could go a long way towards achieving that goal. At the Ovals, Gardner will be driving his familiar silver #4 for three-time USAC/CRA champion car owner Mark Alexander.
Another of the latest entries is Ione, California native Justin Grant. Grant, who spends all of the racing season in Indiana, will be steering the Baldwin Brothers #5 at the Oval Nationals. With a win at Eldora Speedway on May 9th, Grant is ranked 10th in USAC National Series points. He also has a pair of wins and leads the points at Indiana’s Kokomo Speedway. In addition, the California native has two wins in three starts and is ranked sixth in points in the jackslash.com Indiana Sprint Car Series that can be seen on MAVTV’s “Dirty 30.”
Lake Elsinore’s Parker Colston, the leader in the “Rookie of the Year” standings in the Amsoil USAC/CRA Series, has entered his second Oval Nationals. The Temascal Canyon High School senior entered the Oval Nationals last year, but was eliminated in a spectacular crash on the first night. Last Saturday, the impressive rookie, who is currently 13th overall in USAC/CRA points, qualified 7th fast in the 26 car field at Perris Auto Speedway and finished 11th in the 30-lap main event.
First place will pay $25,000.00 at the Saturday finale of the Oval Nationals and $1,000.00 to start. The two preliminary nights, Thursday and Friday, will each pay $5,000.00 to win and $500.00 to start. All three nights of intense racing action will be full-points paying races for the USAC National and USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series.’
