(Ontario, CA, August 7, 2024) After a brief break in the schedule, Flowdynamics driver Logan Williams will continue his quest for the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series TITLE this Saturday night, August 10th, at the Santa Maria Speedway. It will be the second of three races this season at the Central Coast track for the 20-year-old racing organization.
Williams, who drives the immaculate #5W Flowdynamics entry, has been in the middle of a dogfight in the top five positions in the series standings all season long. He enters Saturday's event on the banked 1/3 mile clay oval fifth in the championship chase. However, he is a mere eight points out of fourth and only 77 markers out of the top spot. With 13 races left on the 2024 calendar, he has plenty of time to chase down the top four.
Thus far, in 2024, Williams, the 2013 Perris Young Gun Sprint Car Champion and 2014 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, has started every one of the 10 Series main events. He has impressively finished in the top nine eight times. Four of those results were in the top five and are highlighted by a second-place finish at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway on June 8th.
The two times the Yorba Linda, California resident finished out of the top nine this year both came at Perris Auto Speedway. On April 27th, an early driveline issue ended his night and burdened him with a 22nd place finish. At the series last race on the famous Riverside County half mile clay oval on July 13th, his steering malfunctioned late in the race sending him into the turn one crashwall and out of the competition. He ended up 13th.
Through the first 10 races of the season, Williams' main event finishing average is 8.00. Take away the two mechanical DNFs, and his average finish in the other eight races is a fine 5.62.
On the series' first visit to Santa Maria on July 9th, Williams was the 11th fastest qualifier in the 26-car field. He won his first 10-lap heat race of the year and placed eighth in the main after starting 11th.
To see Williams race at Santa Maria on Saturday, the gates will open at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying will start at 5:00, and the first race will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors and military get in for $23.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo.

After this week's race at Santa Maria, Williams has two more dates on his August race calendar. The first will come in the Brother Brett Classic at California Racer's Hall of Fame Night at Perris on August 17th. His Flowdynamics teammate Matt McCarthy will join him for that event. He will then wrap up the busy month on the 31st at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway.
Whenever you get the chance to meet the Flowdynamics drivers in person, be sure to visit them in the pits. They will be glad to sign your autographs, and each of them will have their fine-looking team shirts available.
