CORY KRUSEMAN SPRINT CAR DRIVING SCHOOL PART OF OVAL NATIONALS WEEK AT THE PAS!

(SEPTEMBER 14, 2006, PERRIS, CA)   The Cory Kruseman Sprint Car Driving School will close nearly a full week of activities surrounding the 11th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals, presented by Temecula Valley Pipe & Supply, at Perris Auto Speedway on Sunday, November 5th.  The school will have a morning and afternoon session on the same half-mile clay oval where the best drivers in the nation will battle it out for a $30,000.00 first prize the previous night.  

“We have a lot going on with the Oval Nationals starting the Tuesday before the race,” Perris promoter Don Kazarian said with a smile.  “We get a lot of fans from all over the country and this will be a great opportunity for them to drive a real sprint car on a real race track.   Imagine yourself heading into turn one at The PAS with 630 horsepower at your toe as you slide sideways in a 1,200 pound sprint car.  It is a blast and it can make a great early Christmas present!”

In addition to getting to drive a real sprint car on a real racetrack, students will be tutored by one of the best in the business. “Cory is a great instructor and very patient with his students,” Kazarian said.  “All of the students emerge from the cars with an ear to ear grin and a true appreciation of what these cars can do.”

2000 & 2004 Chili Bowl Champion
