A Monday show on Labor Day at Petaluma Speedway brought fans from all around to see the one visit of the season for the USAC CRA 410 Sprint Cars for Round #3 of California Sprint Week along with the Lumberjack Restaurant Super Stocks and Santa Rosa Auto Body 600’s. A full field of USAC CRA Sprint Cars saw 30 cars sign into the pits. Chase Johnson once again set quick, this time with no wings, with a time of 13.885. The four heat race format saw Austin Liggett, Chad Boespflug, Stevie Sussex, and Brody Roa pick up the 10-lap victories. Damion Gardner would win the 12-lap semi. Boespflug and Logan Williams led the field to green for 30 laps of racing on the hooked up Adobe oval. Boespflug would take the lead and hold off a charging Bernal and Williams. An early red flag and couple yellows would bunch up the field and Geoff Ensign would put a slide job on Boespflug to displace him form the top spot. Eight laps later it was Gardner, who would mimic the same move as he steadily moved up from his 8th starting position. The “Demon” would notch his second USAC-CRA win f the season as local favorite Ensign finished 2nd, Boespflug was 3rd, with Kevin Thomas Jr. and Johnson rounding out the top five.
Petaluma Speedway returns to its normal schedule Saturday with the Pit Stop USA Winged 360’s, Spec Sprints, Dwarf (Twin 25’s), and Mini Stocks. For more information, please visit our website at http://www.petaluma-speedway.com
