VENTURA, Calif. — For the second consecutive year, Ryan Timms was the class of the field during the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series portion of the ARP Turkey Night Grand Prix Presented by the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame.
On Saturday night, Timms (Oklahoma City, Okla.) led all 30 laps of the feature at Ventura (Calif.) Raceway’s 1/5-mile dirt oval. Timms started from the pole of the feature by virtue of being the high point man following his victory in Friday night’s dash.
Following Timms to the finish line was Brody Fuson (Bakersfield, Calif.), Ricky Lewis (Camarillo, Calif.), Max Adams (Loomis, Calif.) and Blake Bower (Brentwood, Calif.).
