Damion Gardner Takes Second Oval Nationals Crown

PERRIS, CA -RIS- The 16 edition of the Budweiser Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway was reduced from three nights to two by rain on Friday which had the track staff scrambling to dry the grounds for Saturday. The plan was to do both Friday and Saturday's racing on Saturday and so it was bound to be a long day. Two complete programs were run with Chris Windom winning in the afternoon. After that everyone had to leave and then the final program was started at 5 pm.

The finals had the top eight already set at the front of the field and everyone else fighting it out for the final 16 starting positions. That's 35 cars for 16 spots. Tough for those who want to make it. I'll tell you right away that Damion Gardner became a repeat winner. It seems only fair because I told who the afternoon winner was in the first paragraph of the story.
