ROSEBURG SPRINTS FEATURE 5-WAY POINT BATTLE

             Five drivers are knotted in a battle for the USAC Valvoline 
Western Sprint Car point lead going into this Saturday's race at Douglas 
County Speedway in Roseburg, Ore. The race marks USAC's Sprint car debut at 
the 3/8-mile paved oval. Only nine points separate the five drivers with a 
total of 74 available at Roseburg.

             Saturday's race is only the 10th USAC event ever conducted in 
the Beaver State but not the first at Roseburg. USAC's Supermodifieds 
competed in 1985 and 1986, NASCAR Nextel Cup star Mike Bliss taking the 
final race and Gordon Smith, Bernie Voytek, Jan Sneva and Rick Veenstra 
also posting wins. Robby Flock won USAC's last race in Oregon, a Midget 
race at Portland in 2001.

             A 40-lap feature event is on tap Saturday and Brad Bumgarner 
of Chico, Calif. is the series leader. Trailing closely are Michael Lewis 
of Noblesville, Ind., Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif., defending Western 
Sprint Car Champion Tony Hunt of Fair Oaks, Calif. and Tim Barber of San 
Francisco, Calif., fresh from a third-place finish in last Saturday night's 
PayLess/Remy International "Little 500" at Anderson, Ind.
