Roa Rules Hall Of Fame Night At Perris

PERRIS, Calif. — Starting seventh, Brody Roa raced past Stevie Sussex on lap 28 and captured the $2,500 California Racers Hall of Fame Night victory at Perris Auto Speedway. 

Driving the BR Performance owned No. 91r Eagle, Roa scored his second AMSOIL USAC-CRA Sprint Car victory of the season and the 10th triumph of his career. 

Sussex, Cody Williams, Chris Gansen and point leader Damion Gardner followed Roa to the checkered flags.

Before winning the 30-lap feature, Roa earned the night’s $2,100 “Woodland Auto Display / Billy Wilkerson Fast Time Award” over the 27-car roster with a time of 16.440 seconds. 

The 2019 USAC SouthWest Sprint Car champion tied for second with Gardner in the Junior Kurtz / Bill Simpson Trophy Dash points, placed fifth in his heat race, and won the 12-lap semi-main. Brody left the Lake Perris Fairgrounds ranked second in the standings, just 24 points behind Gardner.

With a one-point margin of victory over Roa and Gardner, Matt Mitchell won the $2,000 Junior Kurtz / Bill Simpson Trophy Dash.
