2005 Valvoline USAC/CRA Championship Series.

             Kruseman caught Rickie Gaunt on lap 30 and led the rest of the 
way to win the 50-lap "Kindoll Classic" over Bill Rose, Jerry Coons Jr., 
Levi Jones and Davey Pombo. Kruseman piloted the ITI Performance/Sander 
Engineering Bullet Downing to the victory.

             Damion Gardner of Concord, Calif. concluded his 2005 Valvoline 
USAC/CRA Sprint Car Championship drive with a 14th-place finish.

             Jones, who wrapped up the 2005 Valvoline USAC National 
Championship one week earlier, led the first two laps of the feature, then 
Gaunt and Kruseman traded the lead until Kruseman's final pass on lap 30.
