For Immediate Release

CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS AT VENTURA SATURDAY!

(Torrance, CA, October 12, 2016)   The California Lightning Sprint Car Series will stage its next to last race of what has been a highly successful 2016 season this Saturday night, October 15th, at Jim Naylor’s Ventura Raceway.  The IMCA Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Focus Midgets will also be on the card.  Spectator gates will open at 3:00 PM and racing get underway at 5:30.    

With only two races remaining, the 2016 championship is still up for grabs.  Lomita’s Bobby Michnowicz, who has won three CLS titles including the last two in a row, leads the way coming into Saturday’s race.  However, he does not have a lot of breathing room.  San Bernardino’s James Heling, who is having his best season to date, is second and is only 29-points behind Michnowicz.  Chino’s Pat Kelley, who won his first ever CLS main event at Ventura in May, is third and trails the leader by 85-points.  Rookie point leader Cody Nigh of Camarillo is fourth and is 102-markers out of the top spot.  Mathematically, they are the only drivers who could overtake Michnowicz on Saturday. 

The last time the CLS was at Ventura on October 1st, local Bruce Douglass notched his first ever CLS win in front of Northern California’s Craig Dillard and 2010 CLS champion Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley. In posting the win, Douglass became the fifth different winner in the first six races at Ventura in 2016.  The only driver with more than win on the ocean side oval this year is Michnowicz, who posted back to back victories on August 3rd and September 3rd.

After Saturday’s race, the CLS will get one week off before bringing the curtain down on the 2016 season at Ventura on October 29th.
