CRA SPRINTS RESUME JUNE 11 AT PERRIS; AUSTIN WILLIAMS TAKES “SALUTE TO INDY” AT THE PAS

The USAC/CRA AMSOIL Sprint Cars resume action June 11 at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway and Brody Roa will try to nurse his slim six-point lead over Richard Vander Weerd entering that event. Jake Swanson trails by just 22 points, while five-time series champion Mike Spencer has climbed to within 23 of the leader in the latest tally.

Austin Williams of Yorba Linda, Calif. surprised the troops with his win in Saturday night’s annual “Salute to Indy” main event at The PAS. He and his John Jory Corporation/AMA Plastics Spike/Shaver led all 30 laps to beat Vander Weerd, Swanson, Spencer and defending series champion Damion Gardner.

Roa was the Woodland Auto Display Fast Qualifier, while Jace Vander Weerd earned the BR Motorsports/King Racing Products Hard Charger Award.

Gardner continues to remain in the title hunt despite a slow 2016 start. He’s sixth in the standings, 41 behind Roa, seeking his fifth series title and fourth in a row.
