FLOCK, RODELA TIED FOR EARL'S LEAD
Robby Flock and Jerome Rodela emerged tied for the 2005 Earl's Plumbing Fast Qualifier Championship in the USAC Western Midget Car Series following Saturday night's event at Bakersfield, Calif. Rodela was the fastest qualifier at Bakersfield.
Damion Gardner continues to run away with the Earl's lead in the Valvoline USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series after yet another fast qualifying effort Saturday at Perris, Calif.
Additional top Earl's point scorers over the past weekend were Mike Ward (Carolina/Virginia Ford Focuses) and Robbie Whitchurch (California Ford Focuses).
Earl's points will be up for grabs this week in events at Phoenix, Ariz. (Valvoline CRA Sprints); Lima, Ohio (Midwest Ford Focuses) and Stockton, Calif. (California Ford Focuses).
Points are traditionally awarded at each USAC event based on an international system awarding the top-six qualifiers with points in the following scale: 1st-9, 2nd-6, 3rd-4, 4th-3, 5th-2, 6th-1. When qualifying is not held, points are awarded based on a system of lineup points earned in the preliminary heats.
Each USAC National, Western and Ford Focus Midget Car Earl's Plumbing FQ Champion will be honored at USAC's Champions Night ceremony in Indianapolis. The National and Western FQ champs will receive $5,000 each, while the Ford Focus FQ champs will each receive $1,500.
