SUTTON TEAMMATES SHARE USAC WESTERN FORD FOCUS POINTS LEAD

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (April 5, 2011) – With three USAC Western Pavement Ford Focus midget races in the books, the Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle team has swept the top three spots in the points including Eureka’s Brandon White and Westlake Village’s Jessica Clark tied atop the points standings.

Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle is a NASCAR-oriented driver development program with 27 drivers from all over the world racing in USAC, NASCAR, and ARCA competition for the program.

The RSWC Ford Focus team is one of the most accomplished teams in the history of the series and in 2011 they are off on the right track towards another big season.  Along with recording three wins in the USAC Young Guns they have had several runner up finishes in the USAC Ford Focus Midgets.

Clark kicked off her 2011 season with a second place finish at Blythe followed up by a fifth place run at Havasu the following week.  On Saturday night at Madera Speedway, she was running third when the fuel pump broke to end her night.

The 17 year-old will be competing for both the NASCAR S2 Sportsman title at TOYOTA Speedway and the USAC Ford Focus titles in 2011 and her NASCAR season kicks off on Saturday at Irwindale.

White has put together a pair of sixth place finishes and a season best fourth at Havasu.  His qualifying results have given him a huge boost in the points, timing in second at Blythe and third at Havasu.  White is also in the mix for the SoCal Young Guns championship after winning at Blythe.

White and Clark’s teammate Paul Graham, a rookie to the Ron Sutton program and Ford Focus racing, is just one point back in third to round out the trifecta.

“The two series veterans have picked up where they left off last year,” Head of Driver Development Ron Sutton said.  “To have our drivers leading the top three in the USAC Western points is a good start with our NorCal drivers still waiting to start their season!”

 

The USAC SoCal Ford Focus Midgets will resume on April 16 at the ultra-fast Las Vegas Bullring while the USAC NorCal Ford Focus Midgets will kick off their campaign on April 23 at Shasta Raceway Park.
