Hansen Takes Over At End

USAC-CRA Sprint Car Series, Perris Auto Speedway

 By Robert Mayson

PERRIS, Calif. — Garrett Hansen took advantage of a late-race restart and put Mark Preistley’s No. 7 Maxim into the lead with three laps remaining Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway. 
From there, Hansen went on to post his second Lucas Oil USAC-CRA Sprint Car Series victory in the last three races.
“It’s an exciting win for us because it’s a different car than we ran the last time we won here,” Hansen said. “We had a couple close calls tonight, but I just kept driving as hard as I could trying to win the race.”    
Hansen grabbed the lead from Blake Miller on lap 28 and paced the final three tours of the half-mile dirt track for his second triumph of the season.
Miller, who led laps three through 27, finished second.
Tony Jones, Tyler Brown and Rip Williams rounded out the top five.
