(March 18,

OXNARD, CA - Ventura Raceway returned to
action after its March 9 rainout with a
full program of exciting short track
racing action featuring six adult
classes and our three division kid's
class. Once again racing was excellent
as our racers battled for points in the
2013 season.
Cody Swanson started the new 2013 with
an exciting win over his cousin Jake
Swanson and David Prickett in the 30 lap
feature for VRA Midgets Saturday night.
Swanson started outside of pole sitter
Rick Hendrix who led from lap two to
twenty-two. They battled until Swanson
took the lead on lap 23 and went on to
win. Hendricks fell back to a seventh
place finish. Following Cody Swanson and
Jake Swanson to the line were David
Prickett, Scott Pierovich and Ronnie
Gardner. Two heat races were run with
wins going to Pierovich in heat one and
Gardner in heat two.
IMCA Modifieds opened their season with
two heat races for the 16 cars in the
pits. Jack Parker took the heat one win
and Josh Vogt took the win in heat two.
The twenty lap feature was an all out
dog fight with several different drivers
battling for the lead. When all was said
and done it was Josh Vogt taking the win
over John Crow, Tom Smith, Robbie Witwer
and 2012 track champion Jack Parker.
VRA Dwarf Cars were back on the track in
two divisions, Seniors and Pros. There
were 19 cars in Pros and 7 cars in
Seniors. In Seniors, the 8 lap heat race
went to Mike Neal. Their 20 lap feature
went to Mike Lewis with George Calvo,
Mike Neal, opening night race winner Bob
Kaufman, and Bill VanPraag rounding out
the top 5. In Pros it was Johnny Conley,
Brent Stevens and Hannah Mayhew taking
heat race wins. Brent Stevens took his
second win of the new season in the 20
lap main. Following Stevens to the line
were Chase Lippert, Lee Majors, Thomas
Velasquez and Eric Alton.
VRA's new Hobby Stock Class continued
their first season with five cars in
attendance. Scott Dinger took the win in
their one heat race. The 20 lap main
event went to long time Ventura
competitor Gary Curtis. Following Curtis
to the line in the main were Scott
Dinger, Ernie Malone, David Heurung, Tom
Stephens Jr.
Ashley Hazleton took her first win in
VRA Focus Midgets after race leader
Brennan Rogers and Steve Brown got
together in turn four as Rogers was
lapping Brown. Brennan Rogers took their
one heat race win. Twelve year old racer
Courtney Crone made her first Focus
start finishing second after a fine
drive.
VRA Sport Compacts opened their season
with 2012 season champ Zack Peterson
tasking the win over James Adler, Mike
Stanford, Jeff Stanton and Joel Chavez
Jr. Heat race wins went to James Adler
and Eric Griffin. Peterson had to
overcome a mechanical breakdown with his
primary #96 car early in the evening. He
moved to the number 11 car and took win
number one for 2013.
The final groups racing on opening night
were our three kids divisions. In VRA
Mini Dwarf Superchargers, J D Brown took
the heat race win and the feature win.
Following him in the feature was Bailey
Hendricks. In Mini Dwarf Pistons the
heat race and feature win went to
Garrett Egan. Blake Hendricks, Zack
Chavez and Dylan Neal followed him
across the line in the main event. In
VRA Junior Midgets, 2012 Mini Dwarf
Supercharger champion Nick Velasquez
took his second win of the season by
taking the 15 lap feature and heat race
win over Jake Aguiar.
