Ventura CA - March 19, 2011.....2010
VRA Champion Troy Rutherford had
something to prove Saturday night
March 19th after falling out early
on March 12. He came back with a
fury to take the win in the first
All Coast Challenge Series Race and
pocket the $3,000 winners purse and
take the All Coast Challenge Series
point lead. Also Saturday night Cory
Kruseman took the win in the first
of the Battle at the Beach Series
for VRA-USAC Midgets.
On a night that had fans and Raceway
officials looking over their
shoulders for the predicted rainfall
that would put a damper on this
special race night, all were treated
to a excellent night of outstanding
open wheel racing. The expected the
rains held off and allowed us to get
all main events in except the USAC
Ford Focus main event.
The first All Coast Challenge Race
of 2011 was just what all in
attendance expected as the top VRA
drivers and a few out of the area
challengers battled to see who would
take the $3,000 winners share of the
purse and also take the point lead
in the three race series that will
conclude in October. USAC/CRA Series
Champion Mike Spencer, Nick Faas and
Jon Stanbrough led the visiting
contingent against the VRA regulars
on Saturday night. On the night they
would meet with varied success as
Spencer finished 6th, Stanbrough
finished 8th and Faas failed to make
the main finishing one spot out of
the transfer spot in the semi main.
The night belonged to 2010 VRA
Series Champion Troy Rutherford as
he put his number 11 sprinter out
front on lap 5 passing Kyle Smith,
who led the first four laps, and
went on to lead the rest of the way
to take the 30 lap feature.
Following Rutherford across the
finish line were Derek Buckley, Johnathon Henry, VRA point leader
Greg Taylor and Cory Kruseman.
Taylor now holds a slim 65 point
lead over Rutherford in the 2011 VRA
series point battle. four heat races
were competed on Saturday night with
wins going to Johnathon Henry, Derek
Buckley, Greg Taylor and Don Gansen.
One 12 lap semi main was run with
the win going to Justin Kierce.
VRA Midgets battled USAC Midgets in
the first Battle at the Beach Series
race of 2011. There were 27 midgets
signed into the pits for this
special event that also marks the
first race in the new VRA Midget
Series that will run all season
long. The main event saw Brent
Camarillo lead lap one and two. Then
Jake Swanson took the lead and led
until lap eleven when Ventura driver
Cory Kruseman took the lead and led
to the checkered flag on lap 30 to
take the $2,000 winners check and
the series point lead. Following
Kruseman across the line were Jake
Swanson, Chris Ennis Brent Camarillo
and Alex Bowman. There were four
heat races run with wins going to
Johnathon Henry, Connor Kassik,
Chris Ennis and Austin Smith. the 12
lap semi main went to Cody Swanson.
The new VRA Midget series will
resume with their next event set for
April 23.
USAC Ford Focus and Junior Ford
Focus were also on the program
Saturday night. In Junior Focus
racing, Cole Custer took wins in
both the one heat race and the 12
lap main event. I Ford Focus
competition, there was only a heat
race run as the rain that came after
the end of the sprint car main event
forced a cancellation of the Focus
main event. Robert Dolacki took the
win in their heat race that ran
early in the night.
All in all it was a great night of
racing that many felt would not
occur due to the dire weather
prediction for the night. Fans in
attendance saw some of the best in
open wheel dirt track racing
anywhere. Ventura Raceway will
return to action on Saturday night
March 26 with a full program of
Sprint Car racing, VRA Dwarf Cars,
IMCA Modifieds, Mod Lights and our
kid's divisions.2010 VRA Champion
Troy Rutherford had something to
prove Saturday night March 19th
after falling out early on March 12.
He came back with a fury to take the
win in the first All Coast Challenge
Series Race and pocket the $3,000
winners purse and take the All Coast
Challenge Series point lead. Also
Saturday night Cory Kruseman took
the win in the first of the Battle
at the Beach Series for VRA-USAC
Midgets.
