USAC CRA old

By Dick Jordan

Pick-A-Parts Victorville (Calif.) Raceway Park hosts its initial USAC event this Saturday night as the AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Cars invade the 3/8-mile dirt oval at the Victorville Fairgrounds.

Defending three-time USAC/CRA Champion Mike Spencer leads the series standings again this season after winning the series opener at Perris, Calif. March 12.

Spencer is the only three-time USAC/CRA Champion and is trying to become only the third driver in USAC history to win four consecutive championships in a single series. The others are Butch Hartman (1971-1974 Stock Cars) and Michael Lang (1994-1997 Regional Midgets).

Spencer is 10 points ahead of Damion Gardner, with Matt Mitchell currently third in the standings, 13 back of the leader.
