BRAD FURR MAINTAINS OCEAN SPRINTS POINTS LEAD, ROUND FIVE SATURDAY
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (May 16, 2013)
- Despite an eighth place finish in last Friday's fifth round of the
Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, Stockton's Brad Furr maintained a
comfortable points lead atop the 360 Sprint Car series. Furr's lead
was bolstered by an early season run of two wins and two fast-times in
the first three races at John Prentice's Ocean Speedway Watsonville.
The driver of the #2
Price Rite Restaurant Equipment entry has finished in the top-ten in
all five events held this season, holding down a 38 point advantage over
Gilroy's Kurt Nelson in the standings. Nelson wheeled the Taco Bravo
#72 mount to third last Friday to prove that he will be a force to
reckoned with in the championship.
Watsonville's Justin
Sanders laid claim to yet another Ray Scheidt's Electric Fast Time
award on Friday night before breaking the engine and failing to start
the feature. Despite a flurry of bad luck, Sanders ranks third in
Clayton Snow's #7 ride.
San Jose's Ryan
Rusconi has the Dynicron Cylinder Heads #98 in fourth ahead of Salinas'
Jeremy Chisum. San Franscisco's Nick Rescino, Jr., Salinas' Jason
Chisum, San Jose's Nick Foster, Jr., Fresno's Koen Shaw, and Morgan
Hill's Nicholas Ringo round out the top-ten in the series points.
Foster has
maintained top rookie status ahead of Pleasanton young gun Nathan Washam
throughout the season. Washam is a graduate of the track's Wingless
Sprints while Foster is a former two-time BCRA Midget champion.
Friday's races for
the Ocean Sprints also includes Four Bangers, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA
Sport Modifieds, and Wingless Sprints. Adult tickets are just $17 with
seniors 65+ $16 and kids ages 6-12 are $15. 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.
