HUNT AND RAMOS RESUME POINTS BATTLE AS USAC
RETURNS TO MADERA
8/5/2010
- Series press release
 USAC
Amsoil Western Sprint Car Series action returns to
Madera Speedway for the first time in 2010, as
Tony Hunt leads the points standings in his #56
Metal Works entry over the exciting rookie Luis
Ramos III.
A solid field of USAC Western Sprint drivers is
expected to be in action on Saturday’s “Super
Saturday” which will also include racing from the
SMRA Super Modifieds on the card. The Kenny
Shepherd-promoted one-third mile asphalt oval is
located just north of Fresno, Calif.
In four series events at Madera in 2009, series
champion Tanner Swanson of nearby Kingsburg
claimed two victories. Tanner’s brother, and
former champion, Kody Swanson had a win along with
Rohnert Park’s JoJo Helberg.
Kody will not compete with the Western Sprints but
instead compete in the SMRA Super Modified race.
Tanner Swanson will join the field at Madera
Speedway, piloting the #15 Harvest Supply mount
that scored a win at Stockton with Kody behind the
wheel.
Hunt is looking to rebound from a 14th
place effort in Utah. Clovis’ Ramos finished
third in Utah to lead the Western contingent,
moving him within 45 points of Hunt in the series
championship. Ramos is looking for his second
feature win of 2010 driving the Kaplan-Genoso
Racing #21.
Helberg will be in action driving the black #3F
sprinter for Ted Finkenbinder. Other drivers
expected to compete are #94 Gordon Rogers, #68
Marvin Mitchell, Modesto’s Jimmy Riddell in the
#19 Hornet Sprint Cars entry, and Alamo’s Scott
Pierovich in the #14 Ken Pierson-owned mount.
Heat races are scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on
Saturday night with the main event scheduled for
approx. 8:45. Race fans can learn more about
