.RICKY LEWIS WINS WILD USAC CRA SPRINT CAR FEATURE AT PERRIS

By: Lance Jennings


 

Perris, California (March 21, 2026)………After securing the lead from “Chargin” Charles Davis Jr. on lap 27, Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, California led the rest of the way to claim his third consecutive Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA Sprint Car victory of the season on Saturday night at California’s Perris Auto Speedway.


 

Driving his #41 Mesilla Valley Transportation / Morris Family Farms DRC, Lewis finished ahead of Davis, “The Big Game Hunter” Austin Williams, Connor Lundy, and Eddie Tafoya Jr.


 

Starting third, Connor Lundy took the early command of the 30-lap main event. Last season’s rookie of the year found the bottom groove to his liking and held off numerous challenges from Eddie Tafoya Jr., who started seventh. While most of the front runners ran the low line, Ricky Lewis and Austin Williams worked the outside groove. Carrying extra momentum, Lewis powered past Lundy for the top spot on lap 22, but the lead was brief as Charles Davis Jr. put together some fast laps on the inside line to grab the lead. Davis led three circuits before Lewis rode the rim to his fifteenth career USAC CRA triumph.


 

USAC CRA point leader, R.J. Johnson of Laveen, Arizona began the night by posting the eighteenth Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award of his career. The pilot of the Petty Performance Racing #1P Avanti Windows & Doors / Jugo Superfoods Sherman turned the fastest lap with a time of 16.814 seconds over Lewis, Davis, Lundy, Williams, and the rest of the drivers in attendance. Simi Valley, California’s Blake Hendricks flipped during time trials and walked away while his car was done for the evening.


 

Multi-time Arizona Sprint Car Champion, Charles Davis Jr. of Buckeye, Arizona raced to victory in the 8-lap Sexton Fire Protection First Heat Race. The owner/driver of the #47 MP Environmental Services / Central Arizona Raceway DRC finished ahead of Johnson, Tafoya, Williams, rookie contender Bryan Whitley, “The Honey Badger” Elexa Herrera, and newcomer Zate Legend.


 

The 8-lap Roy Miller Freight Lines Second Heat Race went to San Diego, California’s A.J. Bender. Racing the Kim and Richard Bender #21 Rolls Scaffold / Matrix Construction Services DRC, the former USAC Western States Midget Rookie of the year was followed by Lewis, Verne Sweeney, Lundy, Dayton Shelton, and Brecken Guerrero.


 

By virtue of his fifteenth career victory after starting fifth, Ricky Lewis scored the night’s Hard Charger Award / “Best Passing Job” honors at Perris Auto Speedway. For his efforts, Lewis took home an extra $100 courtesy of former CRA driver Rick Goade, who raced in the late 1970s and early 1980s.


 

On Saturday, April 11th, the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA Sprint Car Series will return to Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, California for their sixth point race of the season.

18 YEARS LATER!

SARNA IS A USAC WINNER AGAIN AT IMPERIAL VALLEY

Julie Tanaka

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media


 

Imperial, California (March 14, 2026)………It had been nearly 18 seasons since C.J. Sarna last celebrated a feature victory with the USAC Avanti Windows & Doors Western States Midget series.


 

On Saturday night on the dirt at California’s Imperial Valley Raceway, exactly 6,447 days after his most recent series victory, the Palm Desert, California found glory once again.


 

Sarna led the entire 25-lap distance from his outside front row starting position, pacing the way to his first series triumph since scoring a win on the pavement of California’s Altamont Motorsports Park in July 2008!


 

In the process, Sarna set a brand new series record for the longest duration between two victories.


 

Drake Cardey (Riverside, California) took over as the new series point leader with a runner-up result. Connor Lundy (Peoria, Arizona) crossed the stripe in third while Connor Speir (Fillmore, California) took fourth and Dane Culver (Riverside, California) rounded out the top-five.


 

The most major incident of the evening occurred on the opening lap of the feature when contact between fast qualifier Broedy Graham and R.J. Johnson sent Johnson into a wild series of flips over the turn two banking. He was able to walk away.


 

Heat race victories were taken by Sarna and Johnson.

If the award is not claimed, then the pot will increase by an additional $360 at the next race until there is a winner. Once the bonus is earned, the process will start over until it is won again. If the award has not been won or whatever money is left over at season’s end will then be divided among the top three in points running a 360 engine.


 


 

Since March 6, 2004, Perris Auto Speedway has hosted 270 USAC CRA Sprint Car events and forty-eight drivers have claimed “home track” victories. Ten-time champion, “The Demon” Damion Gardner leads all series drivers with fifty-one Perris wins and current point leader R.J. Johnson raced to victory on February 14th.

INDIANAPOLIS (Wednesday, March 18, 2026) – Tickets for the two 2026 events on The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway are available online at www.IMS.com and at the IMS Ticket Office.


 

One of the most prestigious events in dirt racing - the BC39 Presented by Avanti Windows & Doors – returns for its eighth running on June 30-July 1. Later that month, the United States Auto Club (USAC) AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship will compete in a points race for the second time at IMS when the opening night of USAC NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week Presented by K&N takes place July 23.


 

Ticket renewals and applications for both events will be open from March 18-27, with tickets going on sale to the general public Wednesday, April 6.


 

The IMS Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the IMS Administration Building at 4790 W. 16th St. in Indianapolis. Hours of operation are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. Tickets also can be purchased by calling 317-492-6700.


 

Visit www.IMS.com for complete details and to renew, apply for or buy tickets.


 

Cannon McIntosh became the first two-time winner of the BC39 Presented by Avanti Windows & Doors when he repeated as the winner of the 39-lap feature in 2025. He joined a list of BC39 winners that includes NASCAR Cup Series champion and Brickyard 400 presented by PPG winner Kyle Larson and short-track stars Justin Grant, Buddy Kofoid, Zeb Wise and Brady Bacon.


 

The USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship again will be featured during the 39th annual Indiana Sprint Week opener Thursday evening, July 23, before Brickyard Weekend opens on the 2.5-mile IMS oval for the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.


 

The event promises a unique spectacle, as the 900-horsepower USAC Sprint Cars take to the dirt track inside Turn 3 of the famous IMS oval.


 

Grant, who won the BC39 in 2023, captured the opening race of USAC Indiana Sprint Week in 2025.


 

USAC’s Indiana Sprint Week, a cornerstone of sprint car racing in the Hoosier State since 1988, has captivated fans for decades with its thrilling action and rich legacy.
