United States Auto Club Sprints, Midgets, Ford Focus Midgets and the Bandit VRA Grand Slam Challenge for Sprint cars are scheduled to race at Ventura Raceway in 2008.
The Seaside Park dirt track's season opens March 8 with VRA Sprints, Dwarf Cars, IMCA Modifieds, Junior Midgets and Mini Dwarfs. It ends Nov. 15 with VRA Sprints, Senior Sprints, Dwarf Cars, Sport Compacts, Junior Midgets and Mini Dwarfs.
"We’ll have age groups ranging from little kids to senior citizens in race cars this season,” said Ventura Raceway promoter Jim Naylor. “We’ll have some of the best sprint car drivers in the country here and we’ll have nearly every other kind of car that races on dirt. We’ll even have motorcycles.”
The track will host the final event of the Bandit-VRA Grand Slam Challenge for sprint cars, which pits drivers from three other tracks against each other, on Aug. 23.
The USAC Sprints, Midgets and Ford Focus Midgets will race at the track 14 times and the CRA Sprint Car Series will race three times at Ventura Raceway.
During the Ventura County Fair, the track will host two demolition derbies, July 30 and 31.
