ROUND THREE OF SCRA’S 360 WINGLESS SPRINT SERIES
After a three-week hiatus, Sprint Car Racing Association’s (SCRA) “Wingless Warriors” return to action at Kings Speedway in Hanford (CA) this Saturday night.
With the anticipated absence of two-time main event winner Ryan Kaplan, who is committed to his USAC Midget ride, veterans Davey Pombo and Peter Murphy headline the list of talented competitors. They currently sit second and third respectively in the point standing (139–136), each looking for their first main event victory of the young season. Rusty Carlile, who finished second in the final 2006 standings, is a scant 18 points back in fourth position, looking to move up-the-ladder.
This powerful threesome will do battle against 2006 champion Jonathan Logan, Richard Harvey Jr., “dandy” Daniel Hood (fifth in points) and rookie sensations Justyne Hamblin and Myles Bishop. Sixteen-year-old Hamblin recorded quick qualifying time during the first event of the season and impressed everyone with a sixth-place finish (after starting 17th) last time out. Bishop stunned everyone when he captured the “tune-up” main event opener at Kings back in February.
Others expected to participate include Brian Schuler, Jeff Gardner, Jesse Mack, Garrett Ishii, Steven Williams and last season’s Rookie of the Year, Kevin Barnes.
