FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
POMBO WINS AT BAKERSFIELD, STIDHAM TAKES POINT LEAD TO TULARE SATURDAY
By Lance Jennings
SANTA MARIA, CA – MARCH 29, 2010… Kerman's Davey Pombo scored his first win of the season with the USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. Driving Junior Bowman's Buster & Ziggy sponsored #3 Bullet, Pombo finished ahead of Bakersfield's Rusty Carlile, Fresno's Craig Stidham, Mariposa's Andy Ferris, and Jonathan Logan of Hanford.
Stidham now enjoys a 28-point advantage over Tipton's "Hollywood" Danny Faria Jr., who experienced some bad luck at the Bakersfield oval. Faria had an eighteenth place finish and will be looking for a Tulare victory this Saturday night, April 3rd, as the series returns for back-to-back weekends at the Groppetti Automotive Thunderbowl Raceway.
