CLAUSON CLOSES OUT 2010 WITH WIRE-TO-WIRE “GLENN HOWARD MEMORIAL” VICTORY

Perris, CA…….Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, Ind. scored his 11th USAC feature victory of the 2010 season Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway, leading all 30 laps of the “Glenn Howard Memorial” Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Car race at the half-mile dirt oval. The race concluded the 2010 USAC racing season. Clauson, who also won Thursday night’s “Turkey Night Grand Prix” Midget race at Irwindale, Calif., put his Parker Stone Company Maxim/Gaerte in victory lane and was never seriously challenged during the 30-lap contest. Tony Jones, who started on the pole but declined the option to take the $30,000 Glenn Howard Challenge and retained his starting spot instead of going to the back of the field, finished second ahead of Damion Gardner, Garrett Hansen and 2009 Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Champion Mike Spencer.
