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.
