Last Saturday, Williams and his crew made the journey to the Mohave Valley Raceway in western Arizona. The 28-year-old opened the night by being the 14th fastest car in qualifying with a time of 15.477. He then started on the outside of the second 10-lap heat race on the balmy desert night. When the checkered flag ended the race on the lightning-quick, banked 1/3 mile oval, Williams sailed past the start-finish line in third.
For the 18th main event in the series 20th season, Williams, who lives in Yorba Linda, California, began in the 14th spot. Like always, he moved forward in the main event and advanced two spots to finish 12th. The result ended a three-race streak of top-10 finishes, and it was only the fourth time this season that he has finished worse than 10th.
Going into this weekend’s races, Williams is sixth in the series championship standings. He is a mere four points out of fifth and only 38 markers out of fourth.
Williams will compete on the same fairgrounds the original CRA first raced on in 1956 and his National Sprint Car Hall of Fame father, Rip Williams, debuted on 47 or 48 years ago. At that time, the action was contested on a large half-mile oval. Saturday’s race will be conducted in front of the same grandstands and on the same front straightaway as when his father raced there. However, the track being used this weekend will be a quarter-mile oval.
Once again, general admission seating is free on both nights. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m., and the first race will take the green flag at 7:00. Imperial Valley Raceway is located on the Imperial Fairgrounds at 200 East 2nd Street in Imperial, California.
After this weekend’s races, Williams will get a week off before heading to the 57th Annual Avanti Windows and Doors Western World Championship at Arizona’s Mohave Valley Raceway on November 1st and 2nd. A week later, he will be at the year’s final USAC/CRA race at Perris Auto Speedway on November 9th.
