TRACY, Calif. — Scott Pierovich claimed his first USAC Western Sprint Car Series triumph in only his third start in the series Saturday night at Altamont Motorsports Park.

Eric Humphries had a huge run coming home in second, with Brian McClish third. Point-leader Tanner Swanson and Bobby Santos III filled the top five.
The finish:
Scott Pierovich, Eric Humphries, Brian McClish, Tanner Swanson, Bobby Santos III, Nick Green, JoJo Helberg, Tony Hunt, Nick Rescino, Jr., Porter Smith, Chase Scott, Shauna Hogg, John Sarale, Jimmy Riddell.
