|
|
INDIANAPOLIS - The
initial 2006 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series schedule, released
today, shows 36 dates in California, Arizona and
Washington state.
The series, currently scheduled with feature events at
five tracks, is set to begin Jan. 21 at Manzanita Speedway
in Phoenix, Ariz. The half-mile track, which also hosted
the CRA season opener last year in conjunction with the
"Copper World Classic" at Phoenix International
Raceway, is scheduled to host seven features, including
the "Western World Championships" in November.
The series' anchor track, Perris Auto Speedway in
California, will host over half of the features. Promoter
Don Kazarian, who on Saturday was honored as the Western
States Organizer of the Year, has scheduled 22 events on
his half-mile, including the "Budweiser Oval
Nationals" and the season finale "Kindoll
Classic."
Return trips for the series include visits to the 1/5-mile
Ventura Raceway on three occasions and two races each at
Santa Maria (Calif.) Speedway and Skagit Speedway near
Burlington, Wash. for the third straight season.
The series also expects to add other races, and those will
be announced when dates are firm. The schedule is also
open for three weeks in July to allow regular participants
the opportunity to compete in the annual "Indiana
Sprint Week" for the National Sprint Car Series.
"We're very excited about the schedule of races we
have so far," said CRA series coordinator Chris
Morgan. "We're looking forward to having another
great and safe season of racing."
Damion Gardner of Concord, Calif. won 15 features and set
22 fast times in 2005 en route to winning the title.
