Anderson Speedway
To Host Two CRA Super Series Events in 2007
Salem, IN (December 18, 2006)
– Anderson Speedway, home of the famous Little 500 Sprint Car race,
will be the sight of two CRA Super Series events in 2007. The famous
high-banked quarter
mile
racetrack located in Anderson, Indiana has hosted more CRA Super
Series events than any other track since the series first event ever
event on Saturday, April 26, 1997. Anderson Speedway has had a total
of 41 CRA Super Series events to date. Former two time series champion
Brian Ross is the all-time series victory leader at Anderson Speedway
with nine victories.
Anderson Speedway was good to CRA
Super Series veteran racers in 2006. Veteran racer Jack Landis scored
his second career CRA Super Series victory and first ever victory at
Anderson Speedway by winning on Saturday, April 15th, 2006.
Landis, the events Fast Qualifier, passed Andy Ponstein on lap 64 to
take the lead, and then held off Ponstein on several restarts to get
the victory.
2005 CRA Super Series Champion Jeff
Lane took the lead on the first lap after the halfway break of the
Anderson 250 on July 14th, 2006 and held off a tough
challenge from 2005 CRA Super Series Rookie of the Year Tommy St. John
to win the Anderson 250. St. John took the lead for a short while
passing Lane in lap traffic, but Lane would come back and retake the
lead and get the victory. 2006 CRA Super Series Champion Scott Hantz
finished in third, just in front of the battle waged for fourth
involving Kenny Tweedy and Tom Hernly Jr. Tweedy held off Hernly to
finish in fourth with Hernly Jr. in fifth.
The first CRA Super Series event at
Anderson Speedway in 2007 will be held on Saturday, April 14th. The
