GOLOBIC, DAY, AND FURR RESUME OCEAN SPRINTS POINTS
BATTLE ON FRIDAY
WATSONVILLE,
CALIFORNIA (June 19, 2012) – Fremont's Shane Golobic will look to continue his run towards the
2012 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo championship on Friday night, when
the series resumes after a one-week layoff. Golobic narrowly leads 2011 champion Ronnie Day of Salinas by just 14 points in the series
standings with Stockton's Brad Furr on their heels in the
third spot.
Remarkably,
Golobic leads the standings in Steve Osborne's GetSomSports.com #9J despite
going winless on the season. Golobic's
season has been marked by consistency and multiple "near-misses" for
getting to the top of the podium.
When the
Ocean Sprints last raced, Golobic charged from seventh to second place but was
unable to overcome eventual race winner Tommy Tarlton for the lead. Golobic eventually finished fourth on the
night to go along with his average finish of third on the season.
Day, second
in points in the Keith Day Trucking #22, has two feature wins and two DNFs this
season to trail Golobic narrowly. Third
in the points, Brad Furr has taken the Price Rite Restaurant Equipment #2 to
five
top-fives this season but is also looking for his first win.
The balance
of the top-ten in the standings includes Gilroy's Kurt Nelson, San Martin's
"Cowboy" Craig Smith, San Jose's Nick Green, Salinas rookie Jason
Chisum, San Jose's Ryan Rusconi, Salinas' Carter Train, and opening night
feature winner Bud Kaeding.
Friday's
races for the Ocean Sprints will also include racing for the Four Bangers, American
Stocks, Sport Mods, and Wingless Sprints. Adult tickets are just $17 with seniors 65+ $15 and kids ages 6-12 are
$13. The family pass for two adults and
two children is value priced at just $55.Qualifying will get underway at 6 p.m. with fan gates opening at 4:30
p.m.
