The track was only in its second week of operation after having been paved following two years as a dirt track. This would be the first of two West races the track would host in 1972. 2. nascar_vd / Racing-Reference.info posted: 02.03.2018 - 8:23 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) P1972-05 Sierra Mesa Note: DNQ: 13 drivers Note: Sierra Mesa track configuration in 1972: Banking: Frontstretch and Backstretch = 2° Banking: all 4 Turns = 6° Nickname: The 'Big Half' Located ten miles east of Marysville, CA, off Highway 20. 3. nascar_vd / Racing-Reference.info posted: 02.05.2018 - 1:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) P1972-05 Sierra Mesa Driver standings after this race (top20): 1) Ray Elder = 758.50 points 2) Hershel McGriff = 738 3) Dick Bown = 733.25 4) John Soares, Jr. = 710.50 5) John Anderson = 644.50 6) Chuck Bown = 629.50 7) Jack McCoy = 579.75 8) Dick Kranzler = 573.25 9) Jim Danielson = 508.75 10) Kevin Terris = 490.25 11) Ron Gautsche = 484 12) Bob Kauf = 441.75 13) Carl Adams = 415 14) Markey James = 412.50 15) Bill Butts = 409 16) Don Noel = 402.50 17) Les Loeser, Jr. = 349.75 18) Paul Dorrity = 320.75 19) Frank James = 301.75 20) Carl Joiner, Jr. = 297.75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
