It has been said before,
but it just doesn’t get any better than
the racing seen at Ventura Raceway this
season. Once again Saturday night June
27, proved that short track dirt track
racing is where it is at for the true
race fan. With over 150 cars in the
pits the fans in attendance saw a night
filled with close hard fought racing in
each of the 9 classes competed.
VRA Sprint action was
capped by a great 30 lap feature that
saw season point leader Kevin Kierce
take the win over a stellar field of VRA
360 Sprint Car racers. Kevin Kierce
started outside front row with up and
coming racer Guy Woodward on the pole.
They battled for several laps until a
hard crash in turn 3 took Woodward out
of the event. As the race progressed
he held off challenges from Tyler
Edwards, Cory Kruseman, Josh Ford and
Steve Conrad. When it was over Kierce
took the win with Kruseman, Ford,
Edwards and Conrad following him across
the line. There were four heat races run
Saturday night with wins going to Tyler
Edwards, John Nock, Steve Conrad and Don
Gansen. The 12 lap semi main went to
Brian Camarillo. Kierce’s win puts him
790 points ahead of new second place
point’s contender Troy Rutherford after
13 races in the 2009 season.
In VRA Senior Sprints, 23
cars signed into the pits for the
night. Three heat races were run with
wins going to Bruce Douglass, Jeff
Culver and Rob Kershaw. The larger car
count necessitated a semi main which
went to Mike Cook. The 16 car, 20 lap
feature went to Rob Kershaw. Bobby
Michnovich ran a great race to finish
second, followed by Jeff Culver, Cliff
Warren and Douglass. Kershaw’s win moved
him to third place in points 45 points
of point leader Wiley Miller. Bruce
Douglass is in second place 35 points
put of the lead.
IMCA Modififeds were
there Saturday night with 25 cars ready
to battle for the nightly glory. The
racing was wide open and wild to say the
least. When all was said and done,
Danny Lauer took another 2009 win. He
was followed across the line by Jack
Parker, Austin Rodarte, Ron Wiley and
Jay Bowman. The three heat races went
to Lauer, Bowman and David Lord.
VRA Dwarf cars raced
Saturday in their two classes, Seniors
and Pros. In
Senior action, Bill VanPraag took the 20
lap feature. He was followed by point
leader Kent Benson, George Calvo, Kevin
Alverson and George Sack Jr. Heat race
wins went to VanPraag and Calvo. In the
Pro Class Ray Estrada got back to
victory lane with the win in their 15
lap feature. Following him across the
line were, Angel Figueroa, Brian
Saxton, Brent Stevens and Eric Alton.

were 9 cars signed into the pits. The
heat race went to Dennis Simunovich. He
also took the 20 lap feature. He was
followed across the line by Ethan Quinn,
