Johnny VanDoorn Looking For His Second Title
CRA to Crown Four Champions During Winchester 400 Weekend
CRA - PR Report
Champion Racing Association will Crown four division Champions this weekend at the 39th Annual Winchester 400 Presented by EDCO Welding & Hydraulics and WMDH 102.5 Hit Country on the famous High Banks of Winchester Speedway. No CRA Series has ever had back-to-back Champions, three of the CRA series have a very good chance of that happening after this weekend.
2009 CRA Super Series Champion John VanDoorn only needs to show up for this weekend’s Winchester 400 to claim his second CRA Super Series Championship for Kaos Motorsports Team. VanDoorn will join Brian Ross as the only drivers to claim two series Championships and will only trail three time series Champion Scott Hantz for the most series Championships. VanDoorn and the Kaos Motorsports Team will make history this weekend, as the only driver and team to ever claim back-to-back CRA Super Series Championships.
VanDoorn comes into this weekend with a 108 point lead over second place Brian Campbell, who is competing in his first full time season with the series and is tied with Ross Kenseth with two series victories this season, behind VanDoorn who has three victories. Hantz is in third place in series points, he is 28 points behind Campbell, which is very impressive considering he missed two series points events this season. Several point positions are still being battled for, Tommy St. John is in fourth place, he is 16 points behind Hantz. Jason Dietsch is in fifth place, he is 16 points behind St. John, and only seven points ahead of six place Terry Fisher Jr.
Rick Turner is in seventh place, he is 69 points behind Fisher Jr. Two series rookies are battling for the eighth place position, which is currently held by Colin Nickolai by only three points over Perfect Circle Racecars Rookie point’s leader Nick Gullatta in ninth. Currently Nick Lay is in 10th place, but Lay is not entered for this weekends event. Rookie Jay Niewiek only needs 38 points to pass Lay for the 10th position.

Garvey: Allen Turner Tune Up 100
Garvey Eyes World Crown As a Tribute to Hawkins
Mike Garvey told Speed51.com that he plans on doing the double at Gresham Motorsports Park (GA) in November. He will likely be a favorite to win the Pro Late Model show, however a victory in the World Crown would mean so much more. Garvey worked as a crew chief and driver coach with Matt Hawkins who had several strong runs in the event including a runner-up finish in 2007.
“To win that race would mean a lot,” said Garvey. “It gives me goose bumps to even think about that. It would be big if we could pull that off.”
With Garvey at the helm, Hawkins won his first race at the old Peach State Speedway in June of 2006 and then had a second and a third in the World Crown 300.
