MARCH 23, 2009 --- The Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to action this Saturday night at Perris (Calif.)

Following the three opening races in February, which also awarded National points, the National drivers dominate the "top-10" in the standings, with Cole Whitt, the winner at Las Vegas, Nev. Feb. 25 the current leader. The first 50 adult fans through the gate Saturday will each receive a free Perris Auto Speedway cap courtesy of Sunoco and the PAS. All fans arriving during the first hour of open gates will also have a two-for-one food price opportunity. The previous 101 USAC/CRA Sprint races at Perris have produced 24 different winners. Who will be #25? Damion Gardner leads the all-time list at 21 wins, followed by Tony Jones at 18 and Cory Kruseman at 13.
