THIRD PLACE FINISH SEES BRODY ROA MOVE UP TO 4TH IN USAC/CRA SPRINT CAR STANDINGS!

(Buena Park, CA, April 4, 2017) Performing before one of the biggest crowd’s in track history, Garden Grove, California’s Brody Roa drove his bright green #91R to a third-place finish in the “So Cal Showdown” for the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars last Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway.  The impressive night saw Roa jump from sixth to fourth in the championship standings.

Joined by the World of Outlaw Series Sprint Cars, the grandstands were nearly full for the April Fool’s Day race.  Roa and crew showed early on they were not fooling around when the 26-year-old timed in fifth fastest in the 22-car field.  He followed that up by starting fifth in his 10-lap heat race and charging to a third-place finish. 

The third-place finish in the heat earned the always smiling driver a ticket to start on the outside of the front row for the 30-lap main event.  Once the Kevin Winters green flag sent the field roaring on its way, Roa stormed to the front and showed the field the fast way around the half-mile oval leading the first six laps.  Before the race was halfway over he slipped back to fifth, but in the second half of the 30-lapper he was one of the strongest cars on the track.  Roa put on an impressive drive on the outside and clawed his way back to an eye-catching third place finish. 

“It was good the second half once we were able to move to the top,” Roa told the massive crowd over the PA after the main event.  “I wish we could run the top more here.  I grew up here watching everybody bang the boards down.  I want to do that now that I can.  It was a good race.  Third is good and we will take it and move on to Tulare and hopefully have some good luck there.”

The finish was good enough to propel Roa from sixth in the championship standings to fourth. He heads into this week’s race at Tulare only three-points out of third in the standings and only 13-markers out of second.

Last year the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare was good to Roa.  On his way to winning the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Championship, he raced there five times.  In qualifying he had one fast time and was never out of the top five.  In the five mains there, he finished second two times and had a third, a fourth and an eighth-place finish. 

Those fans wishing to follow Brody Roa and the USAC/CRA Series to the Thunderbowl Raceway can find speedy track on the Tulare Fairgrounds at the corner of Boardsley and K in Tulare (93274).  The track phone number is: (550) 688-0909.  You can visit the track’s website at the following link: http://www.tularethunderbowl.com/
