_Sean Becker Continues Successful Start to Season_
Rough-N-Ready, CA-March 19, 2007--By: Troy Hennig, Fisher/Main
Motorsports PR Manager
Oroville, California driver Sean Becker, known as the shark in local
racing circles, continued his hot start to the 2007 sprint car season
by
securing two more top five finishes this past weekend at Kings Speedway
in Hanford, CA. With his success Becker now sits only three points
behind Jonathan Allard atop the Golden State King of California Series.
In four starts this season racing with California's best 410-winged
sprint car drivers, Becker's worst finish in a main event is 6^th . He
has a second place finish, two 4^th place finishes and the lone sixth.
As of now, he leads the series with three top fives. What might be more
impressive is how strong he charges to get into the top five. No other
driver has passed more cars in the main events this season. Becker has
passed 44 cars this season during the feature's. You don't have to
major
in math to figure out that he has passed an average of 11 drivers in
each of the four main events this year. That is tops in the series.
“It's nice to pass all those drivers, but one of these nights we will
qualify a little better so we can start up front with those other
guys,”
said Becker.
The team is owned by Tom Fisher and Kyle Main. The team is sponsored by
Cherry St. Mini Storage / Rolling Hills Reality / QRC Outlaw Karts /
A1A
Muffler. The #35m uses a JEI Chassis and Don Ott Racing Engines.
“Right
now our driver is carrying this team,” said Main. “Tom and I are
really
happy to have the quality of Sean Becker in our car.”
Becker was the series champion in 2005 and is excited about the chance
to pursue another title. However, a lack of sponsor funding could
prevent Becker and the team from challenging Allard and other
competitors for the 2007 crown. “We are trying to secure money to
continue and have Sean run for the King of California,” said Fisher.
“But this is an expensive sport and we can't do it on the budget we
have
at the moment.”
Friday night had Becker qualified 12^th quick and finished second in
the
heat. In the 30-lap main event Becker started 12^th and finished
fourth.
“The car gradually got better throughout the night,” said Becker.
On
Saturday he qualified eighth. Problems arose in his heat race and he
did
not transfer into the main event. That moved Becker into the B main
which he won and transferred into the main event. Becker started tenth
in the main and quickly moved up eight spots. He finished in the second
spot.
