When Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Car point leader Brody Roa rolls out of bed in his Garden Grove, California home on Saturday morning, he is going to be staring a busy day straight in the face. At 7:00 P.M. at Perris Auto Speedway, the 27-year-old racing star will attempt to expand his point lead at the Glenn Howard Memorial. Prior to that, he will take on a full afternoon of racing with the So Cal Oval Karters at SoCal Fair Motorcycle Speedway.
Going into Saturday’s race at the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval, Roa has a 51-point lead in the USAC/CRA championship standings. That is the largest lead he has ever experienced in the 15-year-old series. When the troupe last raced at The PAS on August 18th, Roa left the track with a slim three-point lead. Six races later and with his first California Sprint Week Championship notched on his belt, the likable driver has padded that lead with an extra 48-points.
While 51-points seems like a sizable advantage, Roa and his BR Performance crew know that the fight for the title is anything but over. Including Saturday’s race, there are still nine races remaining on the 2018 schedule. Five of the races will be at Perris and four will be at the Arizona Speedway.
Thus far at Perris Auto Speedway this year, Roa has three top-five finishes (a second, a third and a fifth) and one eleventh. Overall in 15 starts this year with USAC/CRA, he has finished in the top five a phenomenal 13 times. In addition to leading the championship point standings, he is tied for the series lead in main event wins with three. Along with the three wins, his other top-five finishes are comprised of three second & third place finishes and two fourth & fifth place endings. Rounding out his results in the series are a sixth and the previously mentioned 11th.
Before making the short walk over to Perris Auto Speedway for the 410-sprint car action at night, Roa will go back to his roots and hop in a kart owned by Matt Jones to race in the SoCal Oval Karters race at SoCal Fair Motorcycle Speedway. Located on the fairgrounds in the shadow of turn four of the half-mile, Saturday’s race will be Roa’s second on the first-year track. His initial appearance there on June 23rd produced a win in the KT100 class. The kart race will start at noon and is free for fans who wish to attend.
