For Immediate Release

LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS HEAD TO VENTURA SATURDAY OCTOBER 5! 

(Torrance, CA, September 30, 2019) The POWRi Lucas Oil California Lightning Sprint Car Series will make its next to last appearance of 2019 at its home track, the Ventura Raceway, on this Saturday night, October 5th.   Spectator gates will open at 3:00 P.M. and racing will begin at 5:30. The Senior Sprints, Hobby Stocks, TQ Midgets and Motorcycles will also be on the program.  

Two-time CLS champion and current point leader Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley has dominated the action at the beachside track thus far in 2019.  He won the first four races there before finishing sixth on August 24th.  Local Cody Nigh of Camarillo took the win that night.  Things returned to normal when Kramer bested the field again for his fifth Ventura win on September 7th.  

Two weeks ago, at the Bakersfield Speedway, San Diego’s A.J. Bender passed five-time champion Bobby Michnowicz on the last lap for his first win of the year.  Michnowicz, Lakewood’s Aiden Lange, CHP officer Jeff “Ponch” Dyer of Yucca Valley and Kramer rounded out the top five.  

Through the first nine-races of the year, only three different drivers – Kramer, Michnowicz and Kingsburg’s Doug Nunes – had recorded wins.  Things have gotten a lot more competitive lately with four different drivers – Kramer, Dyer, Nigh and Bender – have posted victories in the last five races.  

This far Kramer still leads the series with six victories overall.  Nunes has three and Michnowicz has two.  Dyer, Nigh and Bender have one win each.

Heading into Saturday’s race, Kramer is starting to put the wraps on his third lifetime CLS championship and the first for the club under the POWRi banner.  He will have a commanding 184-point lead over Nunes.  Nigh is third in the standings, but Bender is only three-points behind and is breathing down his neck.  Both have been closing in on Nunes in the fight for second overall.  Palmdale’s Eric Greco is fifth.  

San Diego’s Jason Arnolde already has the 2019 CLS Rookie of the Year Award locked up.

After the race on the 5th, there will only be two races left for the year.

Fans who would like to attend Saturday’s race in Ventura can find the track on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001).  The track website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE.
