It was a humid, cold and breezy night at Petaluma but that didn’t stop the fast and furious action at the Petaluma 3/8th’s. The Pit Stop USA Winged 360’s returned to the Petaluma Adobe with 15 cars. Jake Haulot went straight to the top of the qualifying order with a time of 12.770. Two heat races would decide the starting order of the A Main, with Klint Simpson and Bradley Terrell picking up the heat race victories. Jake Haulot and Kurt Nelson would lead the field to green. Nelson would take the lead on the first lap but would end up having a left rear go down and would make a return to the 3/8th’s. A red and couple of yellows would bunch the field back up with Geoff Ensign making a charge for the lead on Haulot. Halfway through the main, Ensign would throw a slider on Haulot and would take the lead. Ensign would go on to win his first feature of the season with Haulot 2nd, Terrell in 3rd, Riley Matson 4th, and Simpson rounding out the top 5.
The Pit Stop USA Spec Sprints also made their return to the Adobe surface in preparation for the Hunt Series event next weekend. Twenty spec sprints signed into the pits with Simpson clocking in quick time. Three heat races saw Joe Stornetta, Simpson, and Korey Combs picking up victories. Stornetta and Combs would lead the field to green with Stornetta pulling away with Simpson following pursuit. A yellow would bunch the field back up and Stornetta made one mistake and Simpson would capitalize and take the lead. Simpson and Stornetta would battle all the way to the end with Simpon picking up the victory, Stornetta finishing in a close 2nd and Jared Morrison rounded out the podium.
Petaluma Speedway returns this weekend with a great night of racing ahead. The Joe Hunt Magneto Spec Sprints make their season debut at Petaluma with their season opener as well, along with the BCRA Midgets, Modifieds, and Super Stocks.
