Randy....Randy here. You should head to the Johnny Key Classic at Watsonville Saturday night. Great a event with TON'S of tradition and lots of cars racing for $5,000 to win for 50 laps. Plus Bryan Clausen and Kyle Larson are going to be racing as well as TK and a slew of other talented drivers. I'm trying to think if Clausen has ever raced a winged sprint-car before or not.
The other option is my hometrack of Santa Maria and the USAC non-wing 360's as well this Saturday. See ya at the Gold Cup and the rest of the racing that's coming up out here in Cali and Arizona.
Trophy Cup......Best race of the year hands down!

Kevin Eckert told me. He said Clausen is driving in the 121 car that Shane Golobic has drove in the past. He said his dad has raced in the Key before and he wants to do it.

they only qualify 6 in.....TK, Tarlton, Kyle Larson, Rico Abreu. Justin Sanders and Ronnie Day. Everyone else must start behind these 6 who are locked in. They will run a full show with b-mains and then how they finish will set the rest of the line-up behind the 6 locked in cars. So he(Clausen) can get in the show if he does well races, before the A-Main.
