Heading the racing program this week at USA Raceway is the USRA Sanctioned Western Modifieds.  The track promoter has beefed up the purse with $ 1000 to Win and $ 100 to start in an effort to attract more cars for tonights race and a chance for the modified teams to weigh in with concerns through a questionaire prepared by the track.  The answers and opinions will help guide the track in terms of rules and sanctioning body in the 2112 season. 

Chad Ayers, the points leader, has a slim 25 point margin over Cody Alvarez.   Tucson racing legend Carl Trimmer is third in points with a 29 point lead above Rick Spencer.  Dana Fite rounds out the top five. 

Daniel Stricker streaking down the Back Stretch

Action is really heating up in the Unifirst Super Stock Points Championship as Daniel Stricker pictured above had a strong second place finish behind Marty Hussak last Saturday night.  With his finish last week he is tied with Terry Hill  for 1st in the championship chase.  Brian Brown is a mere 19 points behind the point leaders and he is followed by Dana Boatwright always a threat to win.   Consistent and steady racer Rod Hiestand rounds out the top five in the Unifirst Super Stock division.

This week Terry Churchwell will try to extend his lead in the race to the Factory Stock championship.  Robert Burchett, a past champion is in second with only 13 points separating him and Dylan Newberg.  George Lein is in 4th with fan favorite and seasoned veteran Ron Bishop rounding out the top five.  Expect a full field of cars again in this class.

USRA Modified Racing this Saturday Night!

This Saturday evening exciting Family Entertainment is waiting for you at USA Raceway.  The USRA Western Modifieds, the Unifirst Super Stocks, Factory Stocks and Hornets will be racing this weekend.

Heading the racing program this week at USA Raceway is the USRA Sanctioned Western Modifieds.  Chad Ayers, the points leader, has a slim 25 point margin over Cody Alvarez who had a strong 2nd place finish behind last race winner and Las Cruses standout, Stormy Scott.  Tucson racing legend Carl Trimmer is third in points with a 29 point lead above Rick Spencer.  Dana Fite rounds out the top five. 

Robert Adams could be the spoiler in the chase for the championship especially if he performs this week as well as he did last race with a last lap pass of Ayers for third.  Midway through the last race it was like Adams was on rails through the corners as he was catching the leaders but ran out of laps and settled for 3rd.   Will Robert Adams be the spoiler in the chase for the championship run between Ayers and Alvarez?
