ROSEVILLE MAY 14 NEXT FOR WESTERN SPRINTS

By Dick Jordan

USAC Western Sprint point leaders Tony Hunt and Scott Pierovich will have to wait until May 14 for the resumption of the Western and Western Classic series, which will occur at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.

Last Saturday’s scheduled USAC “tripleheader” at Shasta Motorsports Park in Anderson, Calif. was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Hunt, of Lincoln, Calif., holds a seven-point lead over Brian McClish as he seeks a fifth Western Sprint championship. Pierovich, of Alamo, Calif., is three points ahead of Hunt in the Western Classic Sprint standings. Points at Roseville will apply toward both championships.

Hunt won two of the three USAC Western Sprint races held at Roseville last year.
