CRAWFORD TOPS CRA QUALIFYING!!!
Drivers earning top Earl's points in last weekend's action included Jerry Coons Jr. (National Midgets), Tony Hunt (Western Sprints), Jimmy Crawford (CRA Sprints), Michael Faccinto (California Focus), Chett Gehrke (Midwest Focus) and Zach Schiff (Indiana Focus). Crawford was the fastest qualifier for the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at Ventura, Calif., while runaway Earl's leader Damion Gardner qualified fourth fastest, only the second time this season he has not been the top qualifier.
Earl's points will be up for grabs this week in races at Eldon, Mo. and Winchester, Ind. (National Sprints), Eldon, Mo. (National Midgets), Ventura, Calif. (Western Midgets), Perris, Calif. (CRA Sprints), and New Castle, Ind., Gas City, Ind., Hickory, N.C. and Ventura, Calif. (Ford Focuses).
Points are 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 for Ford Focus events, 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 Silver Crown GQ champ will receive $5,000, while National Sprint and Midget and Western Sprint and Midget and USAC/CRA FQ champs will receive $3,000 each. The Ford Focus FQ champs will each receive $500.
