CRA SPRINTS RESUME SATURDAY AT PERRIS

JULY 18, 2005


             The Valvoline USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, idle the past two 
weeks to allow participants to compete in USAC's Valvoline "Indiana Sprint 
Week" Series, resumes this Saturday night at the Perris (Calif.) Auto 
Speedway. A 30-lap feature is scheduled at the 1/2-mile dirt oval.

             Defending series titlist Rip Williams continues to lead the 
2005 standings, 113 ahead of Damion Gardner, whose record of 13 fast 
qualifying times this year is remarkable. Gardner finished second to Cory 
Kruseman in Sunday's Valvoline "Indiana Sprint Week" race at Haubstadt, Ind.

             Kruseman, who won the Valvoline "Indiana Sprint Week" opener 
at North Vernon Thursday as well as Sunday's race at Haubstadt, currently 
stands third in the USAC/CRA points going into Saturday's race at Perris.
