            Ian Miille of Pleasanton, Calif. leads the pavement standings, five ahead of 15-year-old Canadian rookie Brendan Langlois, who won the March 29 race at Irwindale, Calif. Miille won the series opener March 22 at Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

            Johnson's finish left him with a six-point lead over Bowman in the new California Dirt standings going into the April 19 Ventura race.

 

            Saturday night's 20-lap Junior Ford Focus feature went to Lance Butler, his second win of the young season. He trails Tyler Edwards by 10 points in the new Junior Ford Focus points going into an April 19 race at Ventura.
