CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS AT VENTURA SATURDAY!
(Torrance, CA, October 2) The USAC/California Lightning Sprint Car Series returns to action this Saturday night, October 6th, on its home track, the Ventura Raceway.

Veteran Brent Sexton of Lakeside, a two-time series champ, is third. Gardena’s Dominic Del Monte is fourth, but five-time champion Bobby Michnowicz of Lomita is only two-points behind and breathing down his neck.
In the first four races at Ventura this year, Michnowicz and Lange each have two wins.
Saturday’s race will be the 15th of the year for the CLS. Thus far, eight different drivers have posted victories. Michnowicz and Lange have three triumphs each.
