Saturday night May 6, saw a great night of short track racing, as Ventura Raceway held a very special event with the Amsoil USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Cars headlining the show.  VRA Seniors Sprints and Focus Midgets were also there to complete a full night of exciting racing action. 

The USAC Sprints were on hand with 25 cars signed into the pits.  Qualifying saw Logan Williams set quick time with a lap of 12.114 seconds around the 1/5 mile oval.   Brody Roa, Damion Gardner, Troy Rutherford and Max Adams rounded out the top five fast qualifiers.  There were three heat races run with wins going to Austin Williams in heat one, Jake Swanson in heat two and Damion Gardner in heat three.  With 25 cars present, a 12 lap Semi Main was run to fill the field for the main event.  Troy Rutherford took the win followed by Max Adams, Ronnie Gardner, Matt McCarthy, Kyle Smith, Danny Sheridan, Kenny Perkins, Kyle Edwards, Rick Hendrix and Guy Woodward.  These 10 cars transferred to the Main Event. The 30 lap feature was fast and furious.  A J Bender took the lead on lap one, only to spin in front of the field on lap two.  Cody Williams then led one lap before Mike Spencer took the lead for good on lap three. Throughout the race, he was challenged by Damion Gardner who tried to get by him on several occasions with no success.  Following Spencer to the line were Damion Gardner, Brody Roa, Max Adams, Logan Williams, Austin Williams, Troy Rutherford, Kyle Smith, Chase Johnson and Chris Gansen. 

Past VRA driver Chris Wakim returned to action to take the win in the Senior Sprint 20 lap feature.  Wakim drove the number 81 to a strong win over a field of ten Senior drivers.  The field of 10 cars ran two heat races that went to Danny Parrish and 2016 Senior Champion, Chris Meredith.  Their 20 lap main event was a good race that saw Randi Pankratz lead lap one to 14 before Chris Wakim passed her on lap fifteen and then led to the finish.  Following Wakim across the line were Randi Pankratz, Wally Pankratz, Chris Meredith and Steve Brown.  Danny Parrish now leads the point race by fifteen points over Ed Schwarz after three races in 2017.
 
The final group racing Saturday night was the VRA Focus Midgets. A small field of four cars were on hand Saturday night.  Mike Leach took their 15 lap main event over Jet Davison, Mike Anderson and Jessica Valentine. Their one heat race went Jet Davison. In the season point race, Jet Davison is leading Jessica Valentine by 40 points.

Ventura Raceway continues its 2017 season next Saturday May 13th, with a full program featuring USAC Midgets, IMCA Modifieds, VRA Dwarf Cars and VRA Hobby Stocks.
