NEXT WEST COAST 360 SPRINT RACE: April 17 – Santa Maria (CA) Speedway

Craig Stidham Wins 2 In A Row At Tulare

Interesting wing show, as well. Former Oval Nationals Champ Bud K. and his dad battling with teener Kyle Larson throughout the feature; Larson finally pulling away to win. Also a heat won in "clinic" fashion by '09 Petaluma track champ Alissa Geving. Bud won a heat and the dash; Larson won the other heat.

The track seemed very greasey early on (among the 360s, only Faria seemed to have a real handle on it during qualifying), but dried up plenty later on.
