CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINTS OPEN SEASON SATURDAY AT BAKERSFIELD 
 
(Upland, CA, March 10, 2020) The west coast’s longest-running and number one Lightning Sprint Car organization, the California Lightning Sprint Car Series, will open its 27th consecutive season of racing this Saturday night, March 14th, at the Bakersfield Speedway.  The race will be the first of 15 on the 2020 schedule for the CLS and the first of five on the Kern County clay oval.
 
The fight for the CLS 2020 title will be wide open as three-time and defending series champion Jarrett Kramer is stepping away from racing.  A strong contingent of young lions, led by Lakewood’s Aiden Lange, Eric Greco of Palmdale, Gardena’s Dominic Del Monte and James Turnbull Jr. of Indio are expected to fight for the 2020 crown with grizzled veterans Jeff Dyer of Yucca Valley, Cody Nigh of Camarillo, San Diego’s A.J. Bender, Doug Nunes of Kingsburg and five-time champion Bobby Michnowicz of Lomita.
 
As well as all the series regulars who are returning from the 2019 season, no less than five new teams are expected to join the traveling show in 2020.  
 
Last year the CLS visited Bakersfield five times and the veteran contingent won all five races.  Michnowicz and Nunes won two main events each and Bender claimed one.  
 
In addition to the CLS, Pro Stocks, Hobby Stocks and American Stocks will be on Saturday’s card.  Spectator gates will open at 4:00 P.M. with racing at 6:00
 
Fans who would like to attend Saturday’s race in Bakersfield can find the track at 5001 N. Chester Ext., in Bakersfield (93308).  The track website is http://www.bakersfieldspeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (661) 393-3373.
 
After Saturday’s season opener, the CLS will get right back in action on Saturday, March 21st at its home track, the Ventura Raceway.
