USAC WESTERN SPRINTS INVADE STOCKTON 99 SPEEDWAY
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (July 14, 2010) – USAC Amsoil Western Sprint Car Series points leader Tony Hunt will be looking for his 30th series win on Saturday night, as the non-wing asphalt warriors head to Stockton 99 Speedway in Stockton, Calif.
The event will mark the sixth race of the 2010 campaign, with Hunt leading rookie Luis Ramos III of Clovis, Calif. by 63 points. The series has been dark since May 31st but many drivers have been busy racing in Utah and also throughout the Midwest.
Ramos comes into Stockton the heels of a solid third place effort on July 12 with the USAC Rocky Mountain Sprint Car Series. Ramos claimed his first career USAC victory on May 15 at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.
Audra Sasselli, Shauna Hogg, and Rohnert Park, Calif.’s JoJo Helberg round out the top-five in the standings. Just four markers separate Helberg and Sasselli.
Helberg completed a busy Midwestern swing over the past few months and in his return to California racing will pilot the 3F for Ted Finkenbinder. The pairing will look to improve on an 11th place finish at Roseville in May.
Multi-time USAC Ford Focus Midget Series champion Tim Skoglund of Fresno, Calif. will be behind the potent #15 Harvest Supply mount at Stockton. The Harvest Supply team earned their first ever win earlier this season at Stockton with former series champion Kody Swanson at the helm.
Alamo, Calif. standout Scott Pierovich will also be in attendance on Saturday, hoping to improve on his pole in Stockton competition in April by nabbing the feature win.
Action on Saturday at Stockton will also include USAC Western Midgets, USAC Ford Focus Midgets, and USAC Young Guns. Grandstands open at 4 p.m. with racing beginning at 6 p.m.
The series has added a new date on August 7 at Madera Speedway to replace cancellations at Orange Show.
The United States Auto Club is online at www.usacracing.com USAC Western Sprint Car Series can be followed on Facebook as well.
