Lincoln,
Calif. – Tony Hunt used a fifth place finish at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt
Lake City, UT to move into sixth in the 2009 USAC Western States Sprint Car
Series standings. This Saturday, the series returns to Hunt’s home track of All
American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.

 

Hunt
picked up his first win of the 2009 season at Roseville on June 27 in a 100 lap feature at Roseville. The win was also the first ever
win for the new spec motor option in USAC Western Sprint Car racing.

 

“I’m really looking forward to returning to All
American Speedway,�?? Hunt said. “Our team is still showing strength from our 100
lap victory in June. We’re continuing to make progress on the spec motor
and remain encouraged about its future.�??

 

Not only has the spec engine produced strong
finishes, it has also yielded great qualifying efforts for the five-time
championship driver.

 

Hunt has had qualifying efforts of first, first, fifth, second, and
eighth so far in the first five races.

 

Saturday’s events at All American Speedway will be just the
fifth round of the twelve round series. Hunt will be competing in three races
in the month of September, and a pair of races in October before the season
finale on Thanksgiving at Irwindale.

 

“We’re making a steady progress back up the
points ladder,�?? Hunt said. “I am anxious for the month of August and our return
to the central valley tracks we excel at.�??

 

Grandstands open at 4 p.m. on
Saturday night with racing starting at 6. All American Speedway is located at
the Placer County Fairgrounds in Roseville, Calif.
