Kierce back in the Winners Circle

 

It was another great night of open wheel racing at Ventura Raceway on Saturday night September 5, with a full program of exciting racing that saw four adult and four junior classes in action on our 1/5 mile oval.

VRA Sprints were back after last weeks exciting racing with another night of all out racing action. 30 cars signed into the pits to help celebrate the Labor Day Weekend. The night started with four heat races won by Brandon Thomson, John Nock, Cory Kruseman and Cody Kershaw. A 12 lap semi main was run with the win going to last weeks feature winner Steve Conrad. The 30 lap feature was another wild affair that went 20+ laps before the first yellow was brought put when Guy Woodward spun in turn three. Pole sitter and current point leader Kevin Kierce led from the start to take his 5th feature win of the year. He was followed across the line by Troy Rutherford, Cody Kershaw, Cory Kruseman and Steve Conrad who came from 17th starting position to finish 5th. .

VRA Senior Sprints were also back in action. Saturday the Seniors ran a great race going green-white-checker in their 20 lap feature. Rob Kershaw took the win over last week’s winner Jeff Culver. Following Kershaw and Culver across the line were Jesse Denome, Wiley Miller and Bruce Douglass. Three heats were run with wins going to Denome, Miller and Culver. Kershaw’s win moved him back into a 20 point lead over Douglass. These two drivers have swapped the point’s lead all season long.

IMCA Modifieds were also in the house with a field of 19 cars signed in. Past track champion Randy McGraw returned from his win last week and took a heat race win and the feature win as well. He led Jack Parker, Doug Thornton, Jared Domingos and Wes Richardson to the checker. The race was marred by a 9 car accident at the start finish line at mid-race that took out several front runners. Austin Rodarte retains 32 point lead over Jack Parker with one race left in their 2009 season. Rob Green Also took a heat race win on Saturday. Rodarte will be going for his first tack championship when the IMCA Modifieds return to action on September 26th.

Senior Dwarf Cars also were on hand Saturday night as well. They ran two heats with the wins going to Bill VanPraag and Mike Neal. The feature event ran green-white-checker with Kevin Alverson taking the win followed by Ed Niedzwiecki, Lee Majors, Bill VanPraag and Mike Neal.

USAC Junior Ford Focus were on hand with 9 cars in the pits. There was one heat race run with the win going to Dennis Simunovich.. The feature went to first time Ventura track winner Kyle Edwards. Casey Martinez, Tanner Kershaw, Andrew Murray and Dennis Simunovich followed him to the line. Ethan Quinn continues in the point lead with a 12 point lead over Edwards in the season long point race.

The final classes racing on Saturday were our three kid’s classes. Feature wins went to Luke Boles in Junior Midgets, Kyle Peterson in Mini Dwarf Pistons and Oliver Blades in Mini Dwarf Super Chargers. Heat race wins went to Ricky Lewis in Super Chargers, Joe Snyder and Cole Wakim in Pistons and Mark Garret and Brennan Rogers in Junior Midgets.
