Damion Gardner of Concord, Calif. narrowed Rip Williams' point
lead in the Valvoline USAC/CRA Sprint Car standings to 11 after winning Saturday

The series now prepares for back-to-back events at the Perris (Calif.) Speedway

Gardner passed Mike Kirby on the fifth lap at the 3/8-mile dirt Kings Speedway
oval and led the rest of the way in his Temecula Valley Pipe &
Supply/Arizona Race Mart John Boy/Shaver to beat Kirby, Peter Murphy, Williams
and Terry Schank. Rodney Argo led the opening lap and Bobby Cody led lap two
before Kirby led the next two laps.
